Year after year people keep asking Adobe Flash or Flash Lite supported on Opera Mini. And year after year others try to explain why Opera Mini is better of without Flash. Here's once again my modest attempt to explain things.

J2ME mobile browser comparison

By Serola. Friday, 9. October 2009, 08:30:24

Here's my modest attempt to review currently available J2ME browsers. This review is based on October 2009 situation, when BOLT has finally left the beta stage. I have selected three following J2ME browsers: BOLT 1.5, Opera Mini 4.2, and UCWEB 6.3. Definitely things will change when new versions are coming out, especially when Opera Mini 5 final is going to be released. Maybe I'm going to write new reviews also later on, now that I have formed some sort of standard for what and how to measure differences between J2ME browsers.

Find out how much memory you have in your phone

By Serola. Saturday, 17. May 2008, 20:51:24

One frequently repeated question at official Opera Mini forum is the amount of memory needed by Opera Mini. Very understandably OM team does not reveal much details and phone manufacturers usually don't tell much either. Usually on manufacturers Web sites only the size of phone's flash memory is told, but the size of so called heap (RAM) memory is hardly ever mentioned. Moreover, it is very unclear how this heap memory is allocated to different phone tasks. In this article I try to explain a little how memory is used while running Java midlet's like Opera Mini.

Opera Software recently started accepting sign ups for beta testing of the upcoming Opera Mini with the codename dimension.

Originally posted by Daniel Goldman:

So what’s new in the browser? I can’t say too much now, but there’s a totally new way of navigating webpages with Dimension – really cool. As I’ve said before, I’ve been testing it for some time already, and have been truly impressed. Seeing what the tiny browser can do on my phone has blown me away. (Source)



This means we have some exciting news waiting for us in the next release. You can sign up for an alert when the beta is ready for the world via mail or IM here.
