Opera Mobile 10 Updated to Beta 3, Adds Flash Support

Opera, best known for its light
weight browsers on desktop and
mobile platforms have recently
added another feather in their
cap with the release of Opera
Mobile 10 beta 3. Yeah, we know
it's still in it's beta 3, but the
inclusion of Flash in this
version, makes it all the more
exciting in the war of the
browsers in the symbian domain.



The last time we covered
browsers from Opera, we
included both the java based
Opera Mini and the stand-alone
browser or as AAS puts i of the browser
was rather encouraging with
noticeably faster loading times
and transitions between
different tabs. However, we were
let down with the flash
rendering. We were actually
looking forward to smooth flash
performance here but all we got
was a disappointing
"Connecting" hang-screen in the
Real Media player when we
tried to access YouTube videos.


Our repeated attempts at
accessing flash content was a
failure and hence we couldn't
really test flash streaming on
this version of the browser. If
any of you are able to please let
us know. We did find out that
the WinMo version of the
browser does handle flash but
rather disappointingly as
observed by FavBrowser.com.

In absence of flash, web
browsing is rather incomplete
and though Opera Mobile 10 has
some amazing features like the
Opera Link and Download
Manager, we would still stick
with Skyfire for it's flash
support. But being still in its
beta 3, we expect Opera Mobile
10 to grow by leaps and bounds
as and when the online on
your mobile without a mobile
