How will Opera Mobile 10.x be for Windows Mobile 7

How will Opera Mobile 10.x be for Windows Mobile 7

So with Windows Mobile 7 just around the corner, How will Opera Mobile 9.x or 10.x evolve for the WinMo platform?

Is Turbo going to improve? Richer page support? Silverlight/Flash plugin support?

I am asking b/c Internet Explorer Mobile 6 for Windows Mobile 6.5 and 7 is going to be a totally different browser which will fufill people's wants on there browsing experience on smart phones.

What do you mean by that?

Silverlight/Flash plugin support?

It already supports plugins, so why do you ask?

How do you know that it WILL? Because Microsoft said so?

no because of a video displaying WinMo 6.5's IE 6 mobile browsing which I was amazed by. I will post the link here later today

The above question is sensible in the context
that it's announced that Flash 10 will come to mobiles.

As for OperaMobile 9.5/9.7 it DOES support
Flash plugin but it is disaster right now -

I mean it CAN play a lot of videos and flash content - good -

but it also crashes so often AND sometimes freezes the device
so it has to be soft reset
OR crashes and stays in the backround
as a process impossible to be closed/killed by any task manager.

In the end I'm a bit scared to use this browser 'cos I had had to reset my device so many times.

I agree I think more bugs have to ironed out, including stability issues/RAM usage. I think there should be "snapshots" of Opera Mobile to gain better testing and feedback.That way each release of Opera Mobile will be quicker, and better.

So IE 6.5 has a Flash plugin made for it. Big deal. Opera supports plugins too.

It's a BETA. Do you understand the concept?

of course , I thinking releasing snapshots of the mobile browser will be better though. Opera Mobile has the most beta;s of anything now.
If there are snapshots then releases can be faster and the stability and performance will be better

Hello everyone,

With windows mobile 6.5 and 6.5.1 opera is able to play videos in browser itself using flash lite 3.1 and the same happens in ie6 mobile too but in opera flash objects dont respond well currently but it ie6 mobile its has a good response for example open msn in ie6mobile all the flash contents works well. Hope this would be improved in opera mobile 10 for wm.

No it doesn't.

I doubt it. It's not like they don't know about the problems, and it's not like snapshots with ever-repeating whining about the same stuff is going to help anyone.
