Opera Mini 5 beta, singing Java ME tech-enabled praises

The Java ME technology-based Opera Mini 5 browser beta has been released today. For all the developers who say that Java ME technology is not powerful enough to do impressive things on cell phones, take a look at what Opera Mini has done and despair.

Opera Mini developers know Java ME

Here's a quote:

 Today, the Opera Mini 5 beta has 
 been released, porting all the 
 successful design elements down 
 from Opera 10 to even the most 
 sluggish Java phone.

 The latest Opera Mini 5 features 
 tabbed browsing, the "speed dial" 
 homescreen with thumbnails of the 
 user's top six most visited sites, 
 support for both touchscreen and 
 keypad-based devices, a password 
 manager, and an interface that is 
 by far the best design work the 
 company has done in the Mini 
 format. 
That's good stuff. Taking a platform you have on 2.5 billion cell phones and using engineering skills to do fancy things (not relying on someone else). That's what I'm talking about.
