Opera Mini 3: RSS for your cell phone
Opera Mini has a reputation as one of the fastest web browsers for java-enabled cell phones. Opera Mini does a great job of rendering web pages in no time flat. Opera Mini 3 adds a few new features to speed up your mobile web browsing even further. Probably the biggest new feature in Opera Mini 3 is RSS support. You can subscribe through the browser and get updates every time you connect. You can sort articles by source or date.
Other new features:
- Support for photo sharing. You can snap a picture on your camera phone from within the browser, and then upload your photo to a blog or forum. This feature does not work with all camera phones.
- Support for secure connections such as banks or online stores.
- There's a new "content folding" feature which automatically shrinks long menus. That means they take less time to load, and take up less room on your small screen. You can expand a menu by hitting the "+" button next to it.

Yes. Opera is doing a great job on the mobile platform. Both on PDAs and on mobile phones.

I don't know about anyone else, but Opera Mini has always been lackluster on the Treo 650. The old version was much better than blazer, but would crash or freeze every 10-15 pages, and now it can barely even get past the setup screen. It tests the network connection and then crashes the palm. When Opera is reopened, it shows the homepage, but upon loading the first actual web page it crashes again, and then every time after that when Opera is opened, it crashes without even getting to the homepage... I don't know why they can't just get something working right :-/

Is it safe to assume that if the Photo Blog link doesn't show up on my phone that it is not supported?
