In my regular search for research papers I found this one that is based heavily on Opera Mini. I would assert that both some of the facts and some of the conclusions are wrong. One of the most fundamental flaws is the definition of adaptation. In figure 2.1 and 2.2 Opera Mini without and with mobile view is compared as without and with adaptation. Every browser makes adaptations to the platform and presentation it is running on, and in the case of Opera Mini that are even some that does not follow the recommended way of doing so (for usability reasons).

Another thing that looked poorly supported was the following statement from the analysis of Opera Mini. "Another shortcoming that can be noted with Opera Mini 4 version is the user does not have suficient explicit controls over the adaptation process. For instance the user can choose image quality of 'Low', 'Medium', or 'High' only and nothing in between the three. A better approach would be to allow users to control image fidelity level the same way it is done in CDA". The assumption put forward here is that a user would want to spend more time controlling adaptation than consuming content. It would had been interesting to see research on this, but as it stands this is just an opinion, not an objective improvement.
