I suppose many of you have used Opera Widget touchtheSky for a long time, that widget used AccuWeather's information.

Unfortunately in our country, despite having J2ME preinstalled, many cellphones does not work with Opera Mini so well, due to high and tight wall of careerer's fertile garden.

Deepfish vs Opera Mini

, ,

There are two Engadget both in English and Japanese.

According to the Engadget Japanese, Deepfish uses client-server system, just like Opera Mini.
From the article, it's my summary, in case you are not satisfied with machine translation of the Japanese page.

Opera is good at renderings for low resolution, small screen, on the other hand MS's Pocket IE is behind by two light year. So here is the preview of Deepfish for Windows Mobile. The server sends pre-rendered thumbnail graphics, the mobile devices just got it and display on its screen, to save time, as the results.

Optimized for any modern mobile browsers

, , ,

I mainly write about Opera in my mother language, Japanese, at HATENA diary, every day. If you open HATENA diary with some kinds of mobile phone, they offer different pages fot it, i.e. add '/mobile' at the end of URI, special page for mobile browsers. The HTML of that page is terrible, in my view, and with Opera Mini, it opens usual page, the same as desktop browsers open.

This is the /mobile page offered by HATENA, with WAP like strange HTML, like CENTER and H3 at the top, and the screenshot of it with Opera Mini.

So yesterday night, I added some short lines at headers in the original page, then Opera Mini shows the page fine.
These are the pages, if you open with Opera Mini, without extra CSS. The first one, with huge HATENA banner, then scroll a bit, the next one, still you need clicks for many times to go to the main text.

Then after adding the CSS, this is the page shown by Opera Mini with no scroll done yet.
I just add these lines, and put some div class="mobileskip" in the text,
@media handheld{
div.mobileskip, table#banner{display:none}
}

to skip graphical navigations with links for desktop browsers. Then I added 'Mini Optimized' banner at the top right corner. But I think if you use any other modern browser, then it must understand 'media=handheld' and shows what I intended.
I believe in 'One Web for All' and don't like to add .mobi or anything like that. If your mobile browser can't understand media="handheld", try Opera Mini now.
