I just watched a nice side-by-side comparison of Opera Mini vs. Skyfire browsers for Windows Mobile. Great little vid, but ultimately Skyfire must trump Opera Mini thanks to its extensive media support – yes?
Opera has just dropped a beta version of their popular Opera Mini browser, and it looks like they’ve hit the nail on the head. Adding tabbed browsing, a much-improved “quick dial” for your bookmarked pages, plus a few other additions and improvements could put Opera back on top.
Opera has put up a nice video showing off the new features, you can view the Opera Mini Beta 5 Video here.
The only thing it is lacking that the reigning champ, Skyfire, has over Opera Mini now is Skyfire’s incredible support for media, including Flash and Silverlight.
Interested in giving the new Opera a try? Head over to Opera’s website and download it! Please leave some comments with your thoughts after you’ve tried it out!

Curious about Windows Mobile browsers? Well everything you could possibly want to know and more about Opera 9.5, Skyfire, Opera Mini, Iris, Pocket IE 6, Pre-6 IE and NetFront. And the benchmark? None other than iPhone’s Safari browser.
How do you think these browsers did when put to the test? You’ll have to check out the comparison chart to find out for yourself (Werner Ruotsalainen’s full story is available here)!
