Opera Mini for the iPhone now available in the Apple App Store – First impressions

| April 13, 2010 06:43 UTC | 1 comment |

Some of us were skeptical if the Opera Mini would ever be approved to the Apple App Store, but I can tell you that it is now available for download in the App Store.

When I just played around with it for a little while, I could clearly tell the difference in browsing speed. Browsing really is ‘lightning fast’. But, the zooming didn’t seem to work correct, or as I would expect it to work. Zooming in or out doesn’t work nearly as good as on Safari, and neither does the ‘tap to zoom’ feature. When I tap on an object that I want to look a little closer, it will normally be zoomed in either too close or too far away.

Personally I can’t yet change from Safari to Opera because of this really disturbing zoom issue. If they change it in a future release, I will reconsider this.

Read the full press release after the break.

Nokia going to unveil a new messaging solution tomorrow? Maybe also the Cseries?

| April 12, 2010 09:21 UTC | 1 comment |

There’s a countdown going on at Nokia’s page here. The countdown will end in a little over 24 hours(at the time of writing this post of course). Mark from The Nokia Blog has managed to extract a few interesting bits from the countdown page, that can’t be seen to the naked eye.

The two images above could hint that Nokia will unveil the Cseries, and some kind of new messaging solution to it?

Stay tuned, since we’ll post more of this tomorrow!

Microsoft's Pink phones to be announced on Monday and headed to Verizon

| April 10, 2010 06:48 UTC | 1 comment |

phandroid has received an internal product launch hype email from Verizon Wireless. They think that this is about the HTC Incredible being released on Monday, but I think that it is Microsoft’s Project Pink that will be launched and headed to Verizon Wireless. The lines “It’s time to share” and “Let’s get social”, are the same lines that Microsoft used in their invitations for the Monday’s event.

This basically confirms that Microsoft will in fact launch the long rumored Project Pink phones Turtle and Pure.
