Opera announces the new Opera Mobile 9.7 at CTIA Wireless 2009
( http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2009/03/26/ )
Nice pic in the announcement
wow
That's great news. There's also flash support and it is server-accelerated! Cool
http://tweakers.net/nieuws/59260/opera-kondigt-nieuwe-versie-opera-mobile-aan.html ( in Dutch) states that the new Opera will support not only Flash and Turbo but also Ajax.
Any download link for the beta version, or it's too early for that?
Don't get your hopes too high on Flash.
I bet the support for Flash is exactly the same as Opera Mobile 9.5, as in "plugin support" resulting in the crappy Flash Lite crap.
I would be confused if, out of bloody nowhere, Opera somehow created an Flash plugin themselves (and not Adobe).
Wow, the browser looks great, and faaaast
Hey .. and they used Xperia for the picture ! It's because it's SEXI !
Btw. here's video (on Xperia too !)

You mean I won't have to use java to get compressed web anymore ? Well .. what is the first reason then ?
Don't get ya.
Anyway my hopes are up for better stability and more stable flash support.

UCWEB does not require Java and its better than opera mini
btw, shouldn't this topic be discussed in the new apps and themes forum
Hm .. new UCWEB really looks better then the last I saw .. but better then opera mini ? I disagree. All pages I tested was way off.
Currently I use Opera Mini for everything .. and Iris browser for sites which Mini does not render correctly.

lol what i meant was it has the functionality of opera mini and more. But its a proper ppc app not a java application.
Just seen the opera press release http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2008/02/05/
If you look under the section that says fully loaded:
Web 2.0-enabled, Widget-ready and Flash support turn Opera Mobile 9.5 into a fully loaded browser allowing users to access all their favorite Web sites such as Facebook, MySpace and more. With Opera Mobile 9.5, OEMs and operators will have the capability to include Flash Lite 3, empowering their smartphone users with access to the full Web including the ability to watch videos on YouTube effortlessly. So i was wrong first time it does have flash.

This made me crack up! Funniest post in a long time.
I'm glad the OP took it well.
I'd be very surprised if they'd release a beta to us regular customers before 2009/2010... I've completely lost my hope in Opera.
Over a year ago they told us Opera Mobile 9.0 was going to be released SOON
sounds good, does anyone know when it is supposed to be released?
Well, the situation with wm browsers is exactly like the pre-Firefox IE6 era. Please Opera, make a decent browser, release it NOW that its time has come and you will definetly be the Firefox of the WM platform!
Well, it looks it's intended for manufactures and carriers, and not for final user sales...
What has really surprised me is this:
Opera Mobile 9.5 will be available on all major platforms including Symbian, Windows Mobile and Linux, as both a standalone browser and as a SDK.

Android or Qtopia (nokia) anyone?
The mood on this page was pretty strange. hehe. This is great news!
check out skyfire, (still in private beta tho) http://www.skyfire.com/
Wow... it's looks great. And I thought PIE 6.1 is gonna take over as the main browser.
i presume its not going to be free though... shame.
here is the link to PIE 6.1 ( extracted from WM 6.1

PIE (even 6.1) is rubbish. It doesnt render the page in desktop mode at all. The formatting is always wrong. The Zoom feature of 6.1 is next to useless.
at the moment the only browser that comes close to the desktop experience is Opera Mini. OM9.5 looks like the right way forward.

Skyfire hasn't started their public private beta testing yet. I signed up for it but to know that they'll be seeing what sites I surf to due to server side rendering, I think I'd take Opera 9.5 over it.
Like it's been said before in this post, Opera 9 was promised how long ago? Hopefully 9.5 comes out before WM6.1 is obsolete.

Huh!? Are you completely sure about that? I thought Opera Mobile 9.5 would be a FULL browser just like Nokias browser and Opera 8.65... Why server side rendering when Opera Mini 4 already does that!
msmobiles is reporting that it is local rendering.
msmobiles said:
Unlike Opera Mini and unlike Skyfire, Opera Moible 9.5 is a genuine stand-alone Internet browser, that doesn't require any proxy servers.

If you don't know what Skyfire is please chek this:
http://www.skyfire.com/product
I have this skyfire beta but i don't live in the US and i'm not registered in their database so i can't try this amazing wannabe browser.
So i ask you if anyone could hack this beta and make it free to use for everyone.
Thank you guys, you are the best!
download skyfire beta here
http://www.savefile.com/files/1490271
Nope. Skyfire is server-side based.
Also, there are a lot of developers on here. Ask them how they'd like it if a CLOSED beta of theirs got cracked in such a manner. Just wait your turn and it'll come to you when they have a more polished product.

the point of this forum is to develop independant software to improve the platform. not wreak the chances of a company trying to do the same. the software is free to use. i'm waiting as well and looking forward to getting my chance, do it the right way mate
How about you sign up and wait for it like everybody else. Relax, just use Opera Mini, it's better.

I don't live in the US but I did sign up for the beta

Yes it is, if you go to the opera website then to mobile, you'll see a link which says: "Opera Mobile 9.7 beta is ready to rev up your phone", underneath this, there is a date which that link was posted, 08/06/09 - obviously that date hasn't arrived yet. it not the full version, but it has the Turbo feature in it, which isn't the final version either.

So finally the beta versions is arriving? Can't wait to browse in TURBO speed. Yeah!
That 'turbo" thing looks fishy to me.....
think it's the same tech that opera mini use
where everything goes passed opera's servers which
compress pages so stuff load faster if you are on a
slow connection
but it really slow things down if you're on a fast one
which is why the feature is default turned off in opera 10 beta on pc
So whats the current news on it?

Well, if you head over to the Opera Mobile page (http://www.opera.com/mobile/), they have a news snipette there on the bottom right that it's out, the article is dated today. However, clicking through points to a "No press release at this URL" page. Sounds like it's gonna be out pretty soon later today!

hi
Anyone know of any tweaks for skyfire v1.5 that will make broswing on the htc hd2 better???
Also as everyone knows skyfire no longer supports flash, is there anyway to make it work this latest version by doing tweaks etc? or additional addons or something like that!
thanks.

as i said before i regret buying android (also i visit x10 forum from time to another and post ****#y comments ) ,but i gave it to my small brother ,as not to through it into rubbish ,and iam back to my hd2 again . so i will still say (WE)
Android Froyo will support Flash...and it will be 10.1 so, so far...best browsing exeprience imo.
I wonder why in the world flash 10.1 is not supported on wm???
Why Doesn't Adobe Support WM for Flash 10.1
The program has been tested (in Android form) and as Steve Jobs said, 10.1 really slows down the performance of the OS. The only alternative is still Skyfire or a miracle programmer somewhere out there.
Hi to all! From a 3 months i'm a happy user of S8500. But one thing is very annoying, the lack of a good internet browser that supports multi touch + flash /why not, iPhone got it from Mozzila/ + uses the full screen /not like the Dolphin in Bada 1.2/
Do someone know such miracle exist?
There are not 1 but 2 such miracles. Names are - Opera Mini 5.1 and UCWeb 7.4.5

I think the only devs who have the skills and the possibilities to port fennec are the devs of Mozilla. As far as I know there are only two OS that can use Mozillas's Fennec browser at the moment. Android and Maemo/Meego.
