Opera Mini Today it was 11 days since the application was sent to Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), for acceptance in AppStore and for now there are still no details about his status, that's all Opera But and Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), keep quiet, no one says anything and we are waiting to see if the miracle will happen, although I personally am a bit distrustful of it.
Anyway, let's see how it looks Opera Mini for iPhone, some they managed to test it and provided some screenshots, both with the browser and with the options menu. It is very important to remember that Opera Mini it is not built on the basis of webkit Safari, so it is a 100% different browser than this one and unfortunately this is the reason why Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), delay the acceptance process.
Let's see how it looks Opera Mini for iPhone / iPod Touch :
- when you open the application, you will be greeted by a menu consisting of 9 icons, in each of which a favorite site can be saved to be accessed simply and easily right from opening the application;
- at the bottom of the application you have a bar with 5 buttons: buttons for forward/backward, button for reloading the page, a button for viewing all open pages and another one that gives you access to the other functions of the browser;
- the interface is completely different from Safari, but Opera Mini has the same options, it allows several pages to be opened at once and navigation among the open pages is done by means of a border that opens at the bottom where a small image is displayed for each open website;
- you have options for saving images, viewing saved images, search in the open page (a feature that is completely missing on Safari); the zoom is done by means of a button and a big minus is the lack of pinch zoom, that is, you will not be able to zoom using the touch but only by the button;
- and finally the options menu that will give you the opportunity to customize the entire interface of Opera Mini.
Opera Mini is a big step forward Safari but the most important feature of the application is the fact that it is almost 6 times faster than Safari, especially on connections EDGE. A very interesting application that many are waiting for, I hope it will appear in Cydia and frankly I am inclined to believe that this will be the case because Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he doesn't give any sign that he wants to introduce her in AppStore.
