I like the speed of Netfront's releases versus others.

Their press release cleary stated that a public beta would be released at a later time.

For those of you with Opera Mobile on your PPC:

Is anyone else having a problem where it automatically goes to landscape mode every tie you open the browser? It will load normal for me but as soon as it's fully loaded, it will switch itself to landscape mode. As a result, I have to slide my mogul down and then up again to fix it. It's just kind of obnoxious.

edit: nevermind. The problems I am having are mentioned on Opera's site and it's because I am using the beta. *slaps self*

Uh seriously...with everybody and their mother now having skyfire because of all the Beta Codes floating around..Now might be a good time to dump Opera Mini...too buggy and too much trouble..besides once this app is released there will be no need for any other browser.

This is Opera Mobile, not Opera Mini.

And having both been in the beta for Skyfire, using the beta 1 of Opera 9.5, and having Opera Mini for all the time. I would say Opera 9.5 Beta 1 is my preferred browser by far. Skyfire does a lot, but I have lots of problems with certain pages not loading right, or when you "move" the screen, it doesn't update all the way. Opera Mobile 9.5 does have it's problems, but overall I think it is a better choice, despite it not being able to play videos... but I never cared for that feature anways, although it's always nice having Skyfire as a backup incase the need does arise.

i'll have to agree, skyfire takes an extra second to focus when panning. plus the panning in opera is ELITE compared to skyfire... if only we could throw em together, we would have the ULTIMATE browser lol.

When opera 9.5 is officially out of beta, it will have the full java support for video viewing.

I just hope they get Pandora.com working with opera, cuz it won't work on on skyfire due to the inability to save java to storage, and thats what pandora does inorder to get you the next song so quickly. Pandora is MUCH more useful to me than viewing youtube as a whole. I use it at home ALL the time, i just wish i could use it in my car with my bluetooth fm transmitter.

its odd, the leaked diamond versions are SO much better than the beta somehow. theres a ton of bugs in the beta but the leaked version seem to just work properly. i wasnt impressed by the beta, but the leaked versions run great which seems backwards on an earlier build

i think the main problem comes from trying to support a wide variety of devices vs one device it was honed to. If you have a touch or a pure touchscreen device the leaked versions work better than the beta right now

does flash ready mean that it will behave just like skyfire does with video websites??? sweet! also does this mean that the raphael's opera will have flash?
