The new Opera mini beta 4 has been released.

Main advantages are the smooth zooming for web pages (including a mouse pointer!) and the well known server-based page optimization.

Now this is nice:

When you load a page, Opera Mini will automatically suggest a place to begin reading. When it’s time to dive into the page, Opera Mini zooms in and cleanly focuses on the content you want.

Apple claims that with the iPhone the web will become navigable. Hm… wait… doesn’t Opera mini already have all these features?

Oh, and there’s a hilarious video from the Opera guys about Opera mini vs. iPhone. Mocking the known Apple commercials:

Opera mini will make the web navigable for any phone, for any carrier at a very low cost.

Guess who will not?

Now what was he thinking?

Steve Jobs announced monday at the  Apple WWDC conference that the Apple browser will be ported to Windows aiming to gain share in the market and to lure Windows users to Mac. I think it will rather scare them away

Funny enough but then, just hours later…

David Maynor discovered 4 DoS bugs and 2 remote execution vulnerabilities.

At the same time Thor Larholm found a URL protocol handler command injection vulnerability.

Now that’s a good start!

OK, the news is not really that new and it’s a bit comparing apples and oranges but it’s still a remarkable success.

And today it was announced that Opera made an exclusive cooperation with Talkline, a major german mobile provider. Mobile Internet customers will have Opera on their cell phones.

I think that Opera does everything right. Instead of fighting with IE and Firefox they sneak their way into other market segments that were neglected by the majors: mobile access, Wii,…

And the mobile internet future will probably not be that the website adapts to a particular device (like .mobi for instance) but that the device adapts to the website (like Opera mini does)
