Some cool news came from Opera Software this week, who announced partnerships with both Yahoo! and Vodafone. First, Yahoo! Mobile is going to include an integrated version of Opera Mini, allowing the application's users to access the Internet directly. Second, Opera have developed a custom version of Opera Mini for Vodafone aimed at low- and mid-priced mobile phones. Both of these announcements are exciting endeavours for Opera that will bring their mobile browser to even more users around the globe. The interesting news to me is the part…

The New York Times' blogger Saul Hansell has reported a clarification about Opera and the iPhone. He went and further questioned Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, Opera's chief executive, about Opera Mini and the iPhone for extra clarity: He said that the development of the iPhone browser was more an "internal project" of some engineers than a product that management was committed to introducing. Indeed, development was halted after the company looked at the details of the license agreement in Apple's software development kit and realized th…

Apparently, Opera Mini was rejected because it was running a Java ME runtime on the iPhone, although this is only speculation. This of course violates the iPhone's SDK agreement. Still, if Opera were to redevelop Opera Mini using the C API, Apple would pro…

Apple's iPhone has become the "cool" platform in the development world, especially with the introduction of the App Store, where developers have been raking in the dough by selling their applications for only a few dollars. When the iPhone was initially released, Apple touted that the development platform was simply the "web", so developers had to use traditional web technologies - XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript - to develop iPhone applications, which ran through Safari.

Google's new Android mobile platform is said to pose a real challenge to Apple's growing dominance of the US smartphone market. However, after simply looking at various screenshots of Android, it is easy for me to say that Android is not a real threat to Apple, at least yet. Apple understands design, which is why people find their products visually appealing. Even the smallest detail Apple attends to. Everything is crafted to the pixel, especially on the iPhone. Apple's attention to detail is amazing. Google Android, on the other hand, la…
