OMG! When I heard about iPhone having fully compliant HTML browser...the first thing that came to my mind was "Hey, Opera can do that" but then my mobile knowledge is so limited I just stayed shut :eek:

Oh please, I have used Opera on a Symbian phone. I thought it was great but since I've seen how you browse the Internet on the iPhone, Opera sucks. Seriously, have you guys seen the demo?

And YouTube on Apple TV has its own interface and it is like having the videos stored locally. The Wii, on the other hand, just has the Opera browser through which you can browse the Internet and therefore, you can also v iew YouTube videos. There is no comparison.

And BTW, declaring your target for your product, no matter how far-fetched it may be, is not lying.

I pronounce this as the Joke of the day :D.
iPhone Safari works only with iPhone while Opera works with millions of symbian phones as well as Windows Mobile Phones as well as normal phones such as your Nokia 6300 in the form of OperaMini.

Speaking of which, guys this is definitely a video to watch :D released by Opera Mini team. OperaMini vs iPhone

And YouTube on Apple TV has its own interface and it is like having the videos stored locally. The Wii, on the other hand, just has the Opera browser through which you can browse the Internet and therefore, you can also v iew YouTube videos. There is no comparison.
Do some research first. Both use the same method. Apple TV connects to YouTube & downloads the video to its HD & while it is downloading it plays it. Wii also does the same but it doesn't save it instead just buffers it cos Wii has no HD.

YouTube is even available at any mobile Phone running Opera Native like Windows Mobile or Symbian or even Windows Mobile using IE. Just open *m.youtube.com/ in your phone

Is there any other guys here who find running Opera on Symbian phone as "SUCKS!!" ?
I have a K750i & use opera Mini, but my next phone is going to be a Symbian OS phone, most likely W960i cos I found the use of Opera for Symbian while I was in Gurgaon & Opera Mini won't let me save the files to my Phone. Well, not the fault of Opera as my Phone has no native opera for it. Opera on mobile phone just rocks. Just one guy will say it sux,,....Macboy

thus it also means that you're not just bound to youtube and you can browse other content providers too .

i don't know if Apple TV allows you to surf web , but if it doesn't then it's really sad coz like u said , There is no comparison .

The only way he can Eliminate Firefox & Opera on Windows is

1) Switch to something better like Gecko Engine

2) Support firefox's thousands of extensions

3) Make it look like a Windows Application like Firefox.


Oh wait....if he does this, it is already firefox :D

Apple needs to make the Safari browser for Windows, in a window-ish manner. Webkit is slower then Gecko/Opera on Windows so atleast he can do is to make a WPF UI based browser for Vista.

Oh wait, again....apple is a hardware company & has no Idea what WPF is, despite of using WPF....I mean Core animation :D
