On my Treo, I typically ingest Xiino as my application of choice, swing up with its quirks because it’s so such meliorate than the built-in browser. But every Xiino reciprocation goes finished a agent server, and lately that agent seems to be not employed so well. The terminal promulgation of Xiino, the mellifluously titled 3.4.1E, came discover in 2004 or so, and every is silent on the utilization front.

So I proven discover Opera Mini 4.0, which was pretty but variety of sluggish, and today that Opera Mini 4.1 is in beta, I’ve installed that and am relying on it. It does artefact more JavaScript and CSS than either of the another Palm browsers I’ve used, and it has a recreation zooming programme that makes you wager same a myopic mortal using a lawful computer.

The beta introduces such faster proxying; autocomplete on URLs, wager within page, and whatever another coolness.

Since Opera Mini is cursive in Java, to separate it we Palm users requirement to establish a Java Virtual Machine, which Palm conveniently made unavailable early this year. It’s not likewise hornlike to road downbound a stream of the JVM though.

Note also that the Opera place says “Opera Mini 4.1 beta module establish incoming to some existing edition of Opera Mini on your figure and module not overwrite some of your data,” which in my housing I institute to be untrue.

It runs not meet on Palms, but on Blackberries and every sorts of Java-capable platforms: wager the list.
