    I didn't think Apple would approve this, but having used it I can see why - in it's current form it poses absolutely no threat to Safari. In fact it makes Safari look really good.

    As I said on the other thread, the whole interface leaves something to be desired. It's fast but the lack of pinch to zoom makes it very awkward to use (Opera claim Apple won't let them). Also, I don't like my password data going through Opera's servers, I don't care how trustworthy they are.

    But even that doesn't work that well.

    Zippy enough, but Safari is nicer to use.

    Much prefare Opera myself. I only have my 3GS a week but I took to Opera like a duck to water. Safari is just slow and not as user friendly imo. Everything works great, I don't have any problems zooming, I don't know what people are on about.

    Best free app so far for me.
