Flashplugin flashplugin? Methinks an Android Mini with on-demand plugin support would rock the market all over again. Well, that and Mobile has plenty of candidate phones to run on. Hopefully the Mini share will be replaced by Mobile share over the next few years.

You think WRONG.

It is not Opera that is UNABLE.

It is the SITE that specifically sends mobile content to Opera. Nothing to do with the browser's abilities.
