Well! I wasn't aware of that. So it sounds like the TOS issue is not a problem for them.
Unfortunately, it also means it's a completely crippled browser. Why anyone would WANT to use it instead of something fully functional (like Safari) is beyond me. The days of squinting at tiny mobile versions of websites on a 2x1 cell phone screen are behind us, and good riddance. It would appear that Opera Mini is already obsolete on the iPhone due to its very architecture.
- dagw 17y agoOpera mini does a good job of reducing the number of bytes that need to be sent to the phone to render a page. That is very useful for those times when you have a very slow connection or, perhaps more importantly, when you are paying per byte. Granted neither of these cases are exactly everyday occurrences for your average iPhone owner, but for those people who find themselves in the above situation, having something like Opera mini to fall back on would be very handy.
