Hakon Wium Lie must feel a special kinship with the "Band of Brothers" soliloquy that Shakespeare reserves for Henry V.
"We few we, happy few, we band of brothers..." the king proclaims before his men head into battle. With all of Microsoft's riches and power behind it, Internet Explorer has dominated the Web browser market since Netscape's defeat in the late 1990s. But as CTO of Opera Software, Wium Lie's job is to figure out how to incorporate the best technology possible in his company's software - and in this he's stolen a beat on Opera's much bigger rival.

Opera looks ugly but is very fast on the desktop. Being a Camino user I did try the latest version of Opera on Mac and was surprised by the speed - usability wasn't there but speed was.
On the mobile front - I have a treo and that doesn't cut anything web related, but a friend did run opera on his Sony Ericsson mobile and it was quite speedy.
