Skyfire Leaves Beta, Steals Windows Mobile Browsing Crown
Skyfire, the server-compressed mobile browser that promises "the full web," i.e. Flash support, on Windows Mobile and Symbian phones, has graduated from its excruciatingly long testing period. In a word, it's great. More »

Opera Mobile 9.7 to Support Flash, Google Gears, Server-Side Compression
Despite being the obvious choice for WinMo browsing, Opera Mobile 9.5 is far from perfect. That said, the next release, due in a few months, might even put the likes of Mobile Safari to shame. More »

Download Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 2: First Mobile Browser With Widgets
The latest beta for Opera Mobile 9.5 is out now. It adds a few things to the mix, but they're pretty big. Besides being faster, it now comes with widgets, making it the first mobile browser to offer extensions (though Firefox Mobile will be right behind it)—you can grab the SDK to make your own here. The five that come with it are Twitter, AccuWeather, a clock, Shopping List, and Bubbles, a Tetris knockoff. Finally, Symbian UIQ users can also get their 9.5 beta on now. More »

Mobile Safari vs. Opera Mobile vs. Skyfire: Who's the Fastest?
Three of the best mobile browsers that act like grown up ones are Mobile Safari, Skyfire and Opera Mobile 9.5. Even though the latter two (both for Windows Mobile) are still betas, Laptop Mag decided to toss them all into a race anyway, seeing which could deliver piping hot content the fastest. They ran Opera and Skyfire on an AT&T HTC Tilt, so everyone was surfing on the same 3G network with beefy hardware. Spoiler: Skyfire delivered pages in one third of the time it took Safari or Opera. It's because Skyfire cheats. More » -

Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 1 Available Now
Two days late, the first beta of Opera Mobile 9.5 is available right now. While it's a developer-focused release, 9.5's snappier response, overhauled UI and better standards support make it worth making the jump now, if you're just a little adventurous. [Opera] -

Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta Available July 15
Since the desktop version of Opera 9.5 officially launched just a bit ago, you'd figure the mobile version would be close behind. You're right: Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta (for Windows Mobile) goes live July 15. It'll bring a lot of the desktop version's features down to your smartphone, including the same browser engine. Enjoy your few weeks left to gloat, HTC Touch Diamond owners. [Opera via via Phone Scoop] -

Opera Mobile 9.5 Reviewed (Verdict: Even Better Than Safari Mobile)
Matthew Miller from ZDNet loaded up Opera Mobile 9.5 on his HTC Advantage, a Windows Mobile device, and thinks it's even better than the iPhone's Safari browser. Why? Because he can select text, copy and paste, save passwords and even email individual images from a page. He says it's the best mobile browser he's ever used (even though Google Docs doesn't work correctly). It's definitely even more like a desktop browser than Apple's offering. You don't need to take his word for it—you can see for yourself in his video. [ZDnet via Into Mobile]

Opera's Flash-Replacement For Cellphones
[UPDATE: This ain't no Flash plugin. Read on.] It's no secret that our gold standard for mobile browsers is full Youtube support. Apparently, that ain't happening because Flash is a CPU and mem hog. So opera is working on a replacement plug in so phones can get in on some mobile video plugin action.The new technology will add video capability directly into the Web browser, so that users can see and play back video content directly in Opera. As of yet, Opera has not commented on whether or not the new native playback ability for Opera Mobile will be able to play existing Flash content.
