[quote comment="3891"]Your screenshots looks suspiciously like Opera Mini 3.1. In fact, the RSS support is currently disabled in Opera Mini 4 beta, so it can’t be that. Make sure that you download it from mini.opera.com/beta/ with your wap browser.

You’re right – it is 3.1x. When I visit mini.opera.com/beta/ – this is the screen that greets me:

There are ZERO iPhone Safari users right now…there are 15 million Opera Mini users. It’s the most popular mobile browser in the world by far, and the safari ain’t gonna change that. Opera Mini debuted only late last year and the changes and improvements have been nothing but amazing. Remember, that safari browser will be running on ONE phone type with a lot of memory – the producers of Opera Mobile had to design it for literally legions of devices, from Windows Mobile with lots of memory to feature phones with barely any memory at all – KUDOS to their hard work and great job!
