Opera Mini 4: might be the BEST mobile browser

The video is a Opera Mini 4 demo created by me. It is about access a stock quoting website (AAStocks.com) and checks the stock price and news.

Because I used some remote display software to stream my PPC screen to Windows for capturing this video, the video appears lag but I can say it performed amazing and smooth in my P535 WM6 phone. I can't believe such a small Java application can complete a browser task. Opera Mini 4 has two excellent features drawing my attenion. First one is proxy browsing, they call this technology as "Mini Technology". It can boost your browsing speed by compressing and preprocessing the web. The idea is very simple. They have a public proxy to cache and process every web requests. For large HTML document or image, it will compress or decrease the resolution so the download data is minimized, turn out your browsing experience is improved. This feature is quite significant slow brandwidth network like GPRS. The second feature is point and zoom. Similar to Nokia S60 browser, if the page is over sized, a full screen preview is displayed and you can click any portion to zoom in or move the cursor to scroll the page. This feature is handy for device without touch screen or lazy person who hates touch screen (such as me).
