I'm going to go out on a limb here...

…and say that the new Opera 4.0 beta (yes, that’s the WAP link for dowloading it) is a bit disappointing.

Sure, the zoom effects are nice and the cursor is long overdue (even if a bit hard to use on the crummy directional pads of most phones), but it’s been and I’m still waiting for access key support of some kind.

And the rumors of a Flash player/transcoder of some kind for watching YouTube videos (or some other inanity) without leaving the browser excites me even less – all this talk of being able to shoehorn “the whole internet” on a phone makes it seem as if the industry as a whole was hit by a collective brick on the temple and started suffering from terminal (if you’ll pardon the pun) lack of imagination…

Can’t we think of better things to do with mobile browsers?
