Opera 9.7 coming, will have Flash, Ajax support

The mobile browsers are a shining example of competition is a good thing. There's no shortage of good options out there for WM now and as IE improves and mobile Firefox is launched it's only going to get that much better.

even though windows mobile 9.5 isn't technically finished yet (except for on OEM releases) i'm still looking forward to the next iteration of Op Mob. The build that i have is stable, and works perfectly fine...but i just wish it had well, AJAX n' flash support. and a few other things as well. looking forward to it. seems like late 09/10 is gonna be a damn good year for Winmo

The fact that your requests go through Opera's servers puts me off, same implications for privacy as skyfire or opera mini. I just prefer to use my phone with as few strings as possible, I pay for the voice/data plan and the phone, dont see why someone should also have the capacity to track what I do online.

What about webkit based Iris? I just installed it and was amazed there's not more buzz about it. It's by far the best WM browser I've tried (and I've tried Opera, IE mobile [old version, don't have a Treo Pro], skyfire and fennec [which didn't really work at all]). It's faster and less of a resource hog than Opera, renders better than IE, and has super fast tab support. Flash lite even works. Sort of.

Ajax? Doesn't the current version already support Ajax? It does have some minor problems with jQuery, though.
As for Opera Turbo, nothing new with the feature. A long time ago Opera has a proxy that compresses pages before delivered to user but shut down soon after these vikings started Opera Mini.
