As I’ve mentioned before, Opera Mobile is hands down my favorite Windows Mobile browser. They’re the first to come out with a mobile web browser for the Pocket PC that includes tabs, finger panning and zooming and they’ve done a fantastic job of implementing it. Skyfire provides a similar experience, but is slower because it’s actually using a proxy. In fact, they’ve gone one step beyond even Mobile Safari by including copy and paste support in this release.

Now you can get it directly from Opera for free during the Beta phase without having to resort to what I’ve been told is a buggy alpha. I predict that more Windows Mobile users will start using their data connection now that they have a fantastic alternative that makes the browsing experience almost as good as the iPhone.
