Opera Mini for iPhone Updated to Version 5.0.1 – Zoom Still Not Working Correctly

| April 29, 2010 07:24 UTC | 1 comment |

Opera Software just released the first maintenance update for the Opera Mini Web Browser for iPhone. The new update is mainly a bugfix update, with only one new feature, and that is support for Hungarian language.

What still bugs me about Opera Mini, is the horrible implementation of zoom. It supports only two zoom states, that can’t be adjust to your liking. Still waiting for a bigger update for me to switch over from Safari to Opera.

Opera Mini for iPhone downloaded over 1 million times in its first day

| April 15, 2010 13:24 UTC | 1 comment |

Apple said “Yes”, and iPhone users around the world said, “Yes, please”. Opera Mini was downloaded more than one million times in its first day of availability in each market. Opera Mini is currently the number one iPhone app in the 22 featured Apple App Stores on their site, as of 8 a.m. CET today.

According to Apple’s download count, Opera Mini has been added to 1,023,380 Apple devices. Opera Mini is the world’s most popular browser that brings the Web to nearly any mobile phone. Opera submitted its browser to Apple on March 23, following the unveiling of Opera on iPhone during the Mobile World Congress, CTIA and SXSW. Initial previews of the browser garnered rave reviews, indicating that Opera Mini delivers up to six times the speed, especially on congested networks, and significant Web-page compression to keep roaming and pay-per-MB costs at a minimum.

“Today iPhone users have a choice, and, as the numbers show, they are eager to explore new and faster ways to surf the Web on the iPhone – especially during heavy Web traffic,” said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. “With any widely available and frequently downloaded Opera product, we are appreciative of all the feedback we are getting, as it helps us to continually improve our product and better meet the needs of our users.”

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.
