Opera Mini for iPhone in action
With Opera Mini for iPhone you get tabs, several text size and image quality options but no pinch-zoom. While it may look like the pinch-zoom is working, the Mini actually reacts on the two fingers touching the screen. It works both for zooming in and out. Or, of course, you can always stick to the good old double tap.
Opera Mini for iPhone was submitted for approval 20 days 8 hours and 31 minutes ago and now you can get it up and running on your iPhone. Or your iPod touch.
