    I hope in an update they add touching the status bar to go to the top of the page

    Im just trying this out and the speed of it is awesome compared to safari.


    Unless something goes wrong, im sticking with opera from now on.

    The only downside is getting use to the UI.

    I wish you could make it your default browser

    wow its so fast, I just wanted it to have a feature so that when you zoom in once by tapping it, then it should let you pinch to zoom out a little, or zoom in a little, also I wish quick scroll was compatible with it but its still an amazing browser.
    also I thought apple would not approve the browser? when did it go on the app store?

    I just did a search, is it true that this isnt secure compared to mobile safari?

    Also, some web pages wont work so safari may still be required.

    same, the 2 zoom settings (fullscreen and zoom in) are not enough, be nice if you could pinch to zoom out..

    I'm definitely going to try it out, but until they add multi-touch I can't say I'll stick with it.

    Nice review Jelly -- I feel like I don't even need to try it out to know exactly what it has to offer.

    Yes. Especially if youre on a really long page. Also, does it have spellcheck? Cause im noticing myself spelling alot of things wrong, whereas in safari, it would auto correct...

    i tried it out for some hours now and i can only say it'S not that fast, maybe it's 5 times faster on 3G network but with wifi it takes about 20 seconds to load a page that safari loads in 5 seconds, and i have 100 mbit'S wifi connection which is the fastest you can get in germany. I used ridebmx.com for the test, but with any other website opera was way faster.

    I'm missing the multi touch support and i want to have real letters when i'm zoomed out.
    Anyway i will use opera instead of safari because it's more fun browsing on opera than on safari and it's just better
