Opera Mini dominates iTunes Downloads Chart


The picture you see above is not a normal sight on the Apple iTunes Store. Opera Mini has managed to bag the slot for the no.1 free app in over 22 countries within hours of the launch which you can find here

Opera Mini is one of the best mobile browsers in the market today and their compression algo saves 90% of data traffic and downloads pages in 1/10 of the time .

iPhone users on slow networks need not struggle with Safari anymore, they have a choice . Unfortunately Opera Mini is working only over GPRS/3G at the moment.  It does not seem to work over WiFi atleast for sure.

Some people are suggesting it’s a ports issue with a WiFi router or a Firewall issue. We are waiting to hear from Opera about this issue. But incase you use an iPhone 2G/ 3G / 3GS the Opera Mini App is a must have !
