Opera Mini 4.0-beta was released today and this seems to be one of the best surprises of the year. It has Javascript, CSS support and zoom-in support similar to the iPhone's, but with all the processing happening to another server instead of your cellphone. Read more for screenshots and info!

You are very wrong. No matter how you rotate, it can make things much slower. From twice slower, to 5 times slower. And given that we are J2ME-dependant here rather than native code that you can control, things will only get worse. More over, Opera Mini is designed to run on phones with 50 Mhz CPUs. Cut the speed 1-5 times, and you are left with an unusable product. Besides, J2ME implementations are too many and too buggy for such tricks.
Sorry, but if I was a product manager at Opera, I would also decide against it. I am pretty sure the subject has come up in their engineering meetings.
