I'm actually almost 100% sure opera mini will dominate even in long
term. In some ways it is similar to the reason why windows dominates
today and macs are a niche market. Whereas safari will run on only
expensive, proprietary hardware from one manufacturer, opera mini has
different versions that in total can run on 1.5 billion current phones
right now from small barebones phones to razrs to windows mobile,
palm, linux, symbian on many different hardware manufacturers.

It is also faster than native browsers, and in fact will be faster
than iphone safari on at&t's network.

Opera mini has also improved DRAMATICALLY since it came out a year
ago. In fact, it might soon handle even flash content, something
safari will not. It is NOT standing still and has advanced versions
for more capable hardware.

I actually use a mac laptop, and like it,  but never realized how
delusional some mac fanatics are....Apple controls the desktop? What
fantasy world do these people live in?
