Opera Mini browser finally makes it onto BlackBerry App World

Published on Wednesday, March 7th by admin

Rating: Will it work if BlackBerry crashes again we wonder?

Although it has actually been compatible with the BlackBerry OS for some years, the Opera Mini browser has finally made it onto the BlackBerry App World app store. Savvy BlackBerry users have been saving money on their data plans by downloading it manually from http:/m.opera.com. Having it made easily accessible on the official BlackBerry App World should ensure much wider usage if nothing else than the fact that consumers trust the official download sites for their brand of mobile OS. You have to wonder why it has taken so long to happen? Perhaps RIM is waking up to harsh commercial realities? Continue reading →

You can access Hotmail on a webOS device

Published on Thursday, January 5th by Tony Dennis

Rating: Actually it’s quite easy once you know how

Although this advice was tested out on an HP TouchPad, we’ve got no reason to believe that it might not also work on an HP Pre 3 smartphone. GoMo News was astonished to discover that despite the close relationship between HP and Microsoft, the latter hasn’t bothered to introduce direct support for Hotmail/Windows Live Messenger (WLM) for the webOS platform. The problem appears to be that the WLM doesn’t recognise the webOS browser. We’ve also discovered that it is feasible to access your Hotmail messages via the native webOS client which also downloads your WLM contacts, too. Continue reading →

App Store Tyranny Part III – Apple vs Opera

Published on Monday, March 7th by Tony Dennis

Rating: Do we detect Norwegian sarcasm here?

As part of our continuing series of reports on how developers are the victims of arbitrary actions by app store owners, we thought we just mention the recent spat between mobile web browser specialist, Opera, and Apple. Opera claims its Mini web browser became the first non-native browser made available in Apple’s iTunes App Store. However, the Cupertino based company decided that only those over 17 should really be able to download it. The reason isn’t very clear but the App Store cites “Frequent/Intense/Mature/Suggestive Themes.” Crickey, the Norwegian company must have found some way to build sex into a browser.

Flash on iPhone – Skyfire submits mobile browser

Published on Thursday, September 2nd by Cian O' Sullivan

When the iPad came out earlier this year, the old frustrations over Apple’s refusal to support Flash bubbled up again.

But large numbers of videos, creatives and games still simply won’t run on Apple’s mobile devices. But developer Skyfire has submitted version 2.0 of its mobile browser to the iTunes Store – and it claims it will be able to play any Flash formats. Continue reading →
