As small as 90KB, Opera Mini Beta 4
It’s amazing how a 90KB software could do so much using as little as possible of your processing cycles and storage spaces on your mobile. All possible by the power of Server-Side HTML rendering and optimization used in Opera Mini, with Beta 4 it’s gone all wild and now it supports Intelligent Zooming too!
A piece of software you’d never regret downloading using your mobile data bandwidth, guess what, 90Fills using your Wap Connection and 180Fills using your 3G Connection on Etisalat’s SIM card. How much was the price for the full version of Desktop Opera back in the days? Remember? And now, the best of the best in the Mini class is out and for free.
It’s in Beta, you’d receive many java.io.IOException erros, well, it’s still beta, but to my amazement, background images and images that are smaller than 5KBs do not get optimized thus giving you a cooler experience. All in all, in general, a mini version of what’s gonna’ be available on the full version of the Opera9 Mobile. Can’t wait for that.

If you get the java.io.IOException, try changing the Network protocol from ‘Socket’ to ‘HTTP’.
To change, go to Menu > Tools > Settings > Network > Protocol.
Hope this helps.
