Opera Mobile Reviews

By Aleksander Aas. Wednesday, 18. November 2009, 14:22:28

There has been a lot of talk about the upcoming Opera Mobile 10. With the release today of the Windows Mobile version we noticed a few reviews already. Let's have a look at some of the feedback!

Mashable: "The new version brings a better, finger-friendly keyboard, tabbed browsing, a redesigned speed dial, faster operation, and of course, support for Opera’s Turbo mode which speeds up browsing.."

TechCrunch: ".. that means users can benefit from a more enjoyable browsing experience from their handsets than is usually the case with built-in and other third-party web browsing tools."

cnet.uk: "Version 10 beta improves Opera Mobile's user interface with a sharp, modern look and an early Christmas stocking full of new features."

DownloadSquad: "The UI overhaul brings Opera's offering across all of it's platforms in line, as well as providing a great range of features from the desktop platform including Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, a password manager and Opera's server side compression technology, 'Opera Turbo'."

Nintendo DSi browser reviews

review, dsi, opera, nplus

The new Nintendo DSi handheld gaming console, arrived in stores April 5 for $170, is a quantum leap forward from the similar-looking DS Lite. It adds another layer of applications and functions to the core DS system to become the first Nintendo handheld that's plenty of fun even without the games and Fox News concludes:

Nintendo's done it again.

As you many of you know, Opera is Nintendo's choice of browser on most of their devices, and the DSi is no expcetion:

After several misfires due to a continually dropping Wi-Fi signal, I was able to download Nintendo's modified Opera Web browser (for zero points, a nice change from the $30 it had cost for the regular DS and DS Lite) and the game "Wario Ware Slapped!" (500 points) by laying the DSi right on top of my wireless router.

(I'm not sure if the balky Wi-Fi has to do with my ancient router or the unit itself; PCs, a TiVo and even a Wii have had no connection problems, but a G1 phone barely gets a signal.)

The Opera browser works fairly well. Pages load briskly, with the entire page showing on one screen and a highlighted section on the other, and it's easy to switch each between the touchscreen and the display screen for easier browsing.

Further, we recommend reading the complete guide + review from Nplus.

DSi Web Browser Speed Comparison

By Espen André Øverdahl. Monday, 23. February 2009, 10:22:06

speed, opera, web, browser ...

This comparison from Nplus shows the new Opera developed Web Channel on the DSi vs. the older Nintendo DS Browser that Opera developed for Nintendo some years ago. Once downloaded, it becomes a part of the main menu of the system.

The Opera browser for DSi will be a free download from the DS store.

Thanks for the first preview of the DSi, Nplus! Keep 'em coming!

If you think this is good, Digg it!
