Opera is saying this is “The Next Generation of Mobile Browsing. Runs on Almost Every Phone.”. “Almost” every phone, means one major device is still missing from their huge list. The iPhone.

As for Opera Mini 5 on Android devices, it runs very fast. Compression of text and images actually takes place on Opera’s servers, saving load times on your device. The beautiful, but simple, UI lends itself well to the touch screen environment. Unfortunatley, there is no multitouch, but you can still use double-tap to zoom in and zoom out.
