Re: Opera Mobile Offical Beta 9.5.1 Build 1718 (Updated)

On the Sprint Mogul, the most serious bug is that it significantly reduces the multitaskability of other programs (i.e., when Opera Mobile itself is not running). For example, Internet Explorer is ordinarily able to start TCPMP (to play a Youtube video) or Streamer (to play a Mobile Youtube video); when either of those finishes, I can close it, and I then come back to Internet Explorer exactly where I was. Now that Opera Mobile is installed, TCPMP and Streamer force Explorer to close.

This does not happen with all programs, only some. I suspect that Opera Mobile has tweaked the Windows Mobile definition of "low memory", so that Windows Mobile is more eager to close programs than it used to be. The reason for this tweak, I presume, is so that Opera Mobile will gracefully exit when it runs out of memory rather than hanging the device.
