Opera Mini comes to the Android Market
Perfect timing, eh? We're really not too concerned about the supposed browser hijack being reported on G1s the past couple days -- there's no proof at this point that it's actually a browser issue, and even if it is, we expect Google to be Johnny-on-the-spot with a patch -- but it's still cool to see a viable alternative getting developed in the form of Opera's venerable Opera Mini in its latest 4.2 beta form. We've played around with it for a few minutes and it seems to work pretty dang well, so if you G1 owners are feeling wild and crazy enough to switch up your browsing routine, give it a go -- it's free, after all.

What makes it so different and special compared to the standard browser? (Not meant to sound snotty, it's a serious question).

Web pages are processed, streamlined and recompressed by the Opera servers, so that a webpage that might be 500 KB to download normally is only 50 KB, and thus loads much much quicker.
