Oh come on - are you saying Opera Mini can parse a stylesheet and
but
isn't powerful enough to indent a line of text and stick a bullet in
front of it?
The phones, not the software. Given the size of displays on devices
that Opera Mini targets, indented text may not be desirable and the
screen real estate better used for something else (like more text).
Hi all,
Interesting glimpses of the future in this thread. :-)
However, surely a single space indent would be of more use and
convey much
more meaning when used as part of the document structure via CSS &
lists.
I'm not on the Opera Mini engineering team, so I can't say why design
decisions were made exactly as they are, but I do know we are looking
into things like this.
I can successfully browse and read Gmail on a Nokia 6103 using the
built in
browser, but Opera Mini must offer better features to convince
users to
download another browser - especially given the limited memory
available in
mobile phones.
Opera Mini has seen huge take up since we released it this year, and
growing. we've had well over 1 billion page views now from Opera
Mini through our servers. Two of the greatest features of Opera Mini
are that it will work on phones where no other browser will and free
to download -- it even works on old phones with greyscale screens. It
is also cheaper to surf on phones as all processing is done server
side and a compressed binary is sent to the phone. Less data is sent
to the phone and the phone doesn't have to do and there is no complex
processing on the phone. Things like scrolling is also very fast.
It'll also work on many sites not designed for the mobile web, due to
the reformatting and being a full html browser instead of a walled
garden wap browser. Of course, Opera Mobile can do much more as it
is a fully blown browser, designed for smart phones and PDAs and all
the processing is done locally, on the phone itself. Phones are
getting more powerful all the time, so there will probably be a time
when both products get closer to each other. We are always looking
to improve our products.
