Aug 22nd 2009 11:57PM what I don't understand is why not just make the refresh rate some common multiple of ALL common frame rates. If they are reaching 480Hx now, it should be easy.

Nov 20th 2008 6:18PM you do know that, before opera mini, there was opera mobile. and that the latest versions of it are, as you said "living locally" on the device.
opera mobile is much better that opera mini, it even supports activex plugins like flash if available (though considering they are written for ie...)
so yes, opera is working now on older devices

Oct 27th 2008 8:58PM wasn't there a patent sometime ago about displays which double as imaging devices? something like every pixel having a tiny camera or sensor and all those images where fused into a larger one.

Oct 1st 2008 10:21PM actually, he wrote "never seen a BSOD" which, unless you use a screensaver or another piece of software which simulates them, is 100% true.
granted, he probably meant it's never crashed for him, but it still isn't the same as saying it never crashes.

Sep 21st 2008 10:36PM I thought most new nokia phones had DSPs for media decoding. I remember reading about the original ngage havind a DSP for audio decoding (only accesible for first party software, which is why it was mentioned).
