Agreed.  Not sure how that's any different from any other task manager I've seen…

Opera for iphone now available.

so far i'm liking opera on the iphone, it's loading the forum pages faster and the color scheme display better and since it's the site i visit most via my phone it's a good thing.  the rest of the mobile 930 website is rendered quite as well with opera…

Don't think I'm taking bows or anything like that, but far be it for me to miss the opportunity to remind folks that I pointed out the fact that Opera blows Safari away in Febraury of 2009…

Are you sure you can't pinch to zoom?  I'm pretty sure you can on full web sites, but not on web sites optimized for mobile browsers.

I'm a one handed phone guy so I use double-tap anyway, but I was pretty sure you could pinch to zoom with Opera for iPhone.

i'll mess around with it, but neither zooms actually. and you cant touch the top bar to jump back to the top. maybe i'm doing something wrong, but this is pretty basic stuff

looks like the issue is only when its in landscape. weird

This is going to be Opera's downfall on the iPhone.  Instead of adopting Apple's UI suggestions, they decided to keep their browser as consitent as possible across platforms.  regular iPhone/Touch users are going to dislike anything that doesn't work the same as the iPhone's Safari browser.

never mind that part, you can hit the red bar below it and do the same thing. just takes up more screen space

Settings: Full Screen (On/Off)

And here's a little treat for the power users:

In the address bar type "config:" and hit go.  Lots of configurables there….

(Beta testing has it's advantages)

Please.  Android phone for now (HTC Hero), but I've been running the Opera Mobile betas for sometime and Opera made sure to keep them similar across platforms (thank you Opera)

How tall are you, just out of curiosity.

6 feet?
