Referring to Opera Mini? I have that here, along with half a dozen other web browsers I've tried on my Tapwave Zodiac 2. I haven't tried Blazer, but it would need to be *really* bad for Opera Mini to be preferable. Opera Mini is a Java applet. You need a compatible version of IBM's Java Virtual Machine for PalmOS to use it. Given this, I question whether it could be called from Plucker. Even if you can, because it's a Java app, it doesn't follow the Palm UI guidelines, so it behaves like nothing else on a Palm device. And while rendering is excellent, it doesn't seem to support Javascript (or CSS), and it's *really* sluggish on my device. (The TX uses a faster processor, and may be better.) The current version also doesn't support the 320x480 screen, and I haven't been able to get it to open a local HTML file. (Due to issues with Javascript and CSS support, I haven't found a Plm browser that does dfo a good job of that.) I got it running mostly to see whether I *could* I wouldn't try to use it seriously. I prefer Novarra's nWeb, though Mobirus' Xiino is also worth a look. Opera *Micro* *would* be interesting, and Opera was apparently interested in doing a PalmOS version, but the effort foundered because Palm wasn't interested.
