they get paid for every search you do through their browser
and I guess it's a long term thing for them. For example in 2006/7 10 years after the company was formed, did their balance sheets showed some profit.

Thanks for update.

I dont get you guys....
As per adsense rule you cant integrate adsense into a app.... So they cant get money thru our search...

There should be something...
Prev opera for pc had ads,later they removed...
Only thing i see as ads in OM is those default links it comes with...
Other mobile apps like mobispine...and others come with ads bloated....

Anyway OM 4.1 ROCKS!

they don't use adsense. Opera has a contract/agreement on this with google. Google pays Opera for
a)setting google as the default search engine
b) every search . Its like some cents for every google search done through opera.
This even extends to Opera desktop. So if u want to help Opera, simply google!

[ThinkFree]

Thanks for the info

[harsha]

It doesn't work with iPhone.

[Pathik]

^^ He said almost, didn't he?

[naveen_reloaded]

Wait prev it had yahoo as default...search engine...

Are you sure this is how they get money....?

If so i will search 10 times daily...

[Krazy_About_Technology]

Thanks for the info dude, really impressed by the speed. Its way to fast then the NetFront browser on my W660i. And i love the transitions effects it does when moving between pages. BTW, i have used opera mini for the first time, i use to have a Nokia 3230 before and on that i was using Opera Full for a long time, its startup time was really long. But this one's is too good.

[Pathik]

Actually Opera Full is more powerful than Mini. But Mini works on almost every cellfone. BTW Opera Mobile 9.5 is going to release soon.

[Krazy_About_Technology]

Ya that i know. But with my W660i, i guess this is my best bet

[naveen_reloaded]

Did i forget to tell you all that you can also UPLOAD ?
Simply amazing...

[chesss]

It doesn't work with iPhone.

it will if they don't want it to not to . And it may if/when java is ported

and since so many seem to be using OM here.. don't miss 'Opera link' to syncronize all your bookmarks between your opera desktop and mini.

[Gigacore]

posted this from opera mini 4.1 - Fantastic!

[Cool G5]

I am waiting for Opera Mobile 9.
When is it coming?Any news?
Opera is taking more interest in developing opera mini than opera mobile.

[anispace]

i guess becoz Opera mobile works only on Symbian. so limited users.

But yeah Opera mobile is much more powerful than mini. Can browse just like i do on my PC. And with its awesome cache, even crappy gprs seems faster.

[naveen_reloaded]

With opera mini you cover a wide range of phone..so why waste time in dev opera to a particular platform? When opera mini now nearly equals opera mobile

[Tech.Masti]

Just downloaded, no problem yet

[krazzy]

It still launches the built-in browser for downloading images though. Also it gave some funny error while downloading from one site. So I had to use UCWEB. Didn't try uploading though.

[naveen_reloaded]

Download the one with all certificates to get a smooth upload and download carried out!

Tips...
Prev to stop the loading you have to press right soft key , now it doesn work that way, instead to stop the loading press 'C'

Opera mobile is available for windows mobile as well. But the beauty of mini is that it compresses the web pages before delivering it to ur phone. This saves the precious kilo bytes if u r not on a unlimited data plan og GPRS.

[Head Banger]

I still cannot post a reply from mini, it just can't log me in.

[naveen_reloaded]

Replying from OM 4.1 BETA...

better clear the cookies..or try reinstalling and when it asks for use the data penn prev version... Say no and do a fresh install...coz those problem and all have been solved way back...

Or simply try loging in again and hit refresh...

[krazzy]

They still haven't ironed out some of the major bugs though. Like the inability to display smilies in mobile view, etc. Quick reply is still a pain in the a$$ as you've to reload the page again to view your post. Also I'm wondering when will Mini support animations. I'd also like the websites to recognize it as a pc browser rather than a mobile browser. Many sites like Google and Yahoo! display their mobile versions when visited through Mini (atleast Google has the option to go to their standard page, Yahoo! doesn't even have that).
