Rendering engine recursion!
After months of teasing, Opera finally released a beta of version 10 for Symbian, available here or at m.opera.com/next
It’s all fine and dandy, it’s basically Opera Mini 5 beta, with Opera Turbo and all their fast magic, only faster because it’s a native app. I know some people that swear by Opera Mini, and this release would only make them happier. I personally don’t like it that much, but it’s good for browsing pages too heavy that would make the webkit browser crash due to RAM.
But protip, Opera: fix the virtual keyboard. I don’t want to learn the layout of yet another keyboard that’s only used on your app, specially one that can’t even copy paste. You’re not dealing with java restrictions on text inputs here, get to adapting the build in keyboards right.
Also, I saw this yesterday morning, what took me so long to post about it? I was waiting until I had the Maemo meetup post ready, so I could screenshot it and have the recursion picture. Awesomeness~
