opera mini

Hello

i was wondering if i could run the opera mini on my xda exec?

why is opera mini termed as opera's solution for java?, what does the java language have to do with a browser?

hi, yes u can run opera mini on your device..but i would rather recomand opera 8.6 for pocket pc which is great ..i mean for me. opera mini is a java application thats why is a java solution:)

PM me and i will give you a link where u can get it :)

thanks for the reply

is opera8.6 for pocket pc also a java application, all browsers are not java applications, correct/
i guess opera would need to have the jre installed on the phone?

Just grab a copy of Opera Mobile (WM5 PPC) from here (http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/products/winmobileppc/).

This will install the trial (30 day) version.

Some evil crackers/pirates (arr!) have edited the .DLL file to remove the 30 day limitation, but at least they had the decency to post it to GSM Hosting rather than this site.

I hope this helps.

I actually didn't care for the Opera browser... it was very slow compared to Opera Mini. Mini is extremely fast and does everything pretty well.

thanks for the replies

both opera and opera mini need to be bought?

[GldRush98]

no, Opera Mini is free.
Opera browser for the PPC is not free.

is this a case of the browser with the bells and whistles is paid whereas browser-lite is free?
