The Nokia browser is a proxy browser like Opera Mini and the UC Browser. When the user requests a page, the browser sends the request to a Nokia server which fetches the page and pre-formats the content before sending it to the browser as a compressed binary stream. Proxy browsers are especially well suited … Continue reading →

Opera Mini on the iPad

Opera Software released a new version of Opera Mini for iOS today. It’s version 7.0.2 and it fixes the issue with the 3rd generation iPad where the browser toolbar and other UI elements were too small to be usable.

Seeking Alpha Website Is Broken in Opera and Firefox Mobile

Posted on by
Seeking Alpha - Market Currents Tab

Seeking Alpha is a big US based stock market analysis and financial site. I recently discovered that it has a mobile formatted layout which it seems to only serve to Android and iOS devices. In Safari, the Android default browser and Android Chrome, the mobile layout is attractive and seems user friendly, although scrolling in both Android browsers feels a bit laggy. On other mobile platforms like bada, Symbian, S40 and WebOS, Seeking Alpha delivers its desktop layout, which is … Continue reading →

Sites that break thematic consistency get a place of honor in the WapReview Thematic (In)consistency Hall of Shame. The latest honoree is … Continue reading →
