With all the talk focused on Android, iPhone, and lately Windows Phone 7, I’m glad the guys at Opera haven’t forgetten about the group of us who are still using Windows Mobile 6.5 (or earlier versions). Opera released a native version of Opera Mini 5 Beta for Windows Mobile earlier this year, and being a beta release, it was buggy. Sometime in September, they finally got a chance fix those bugs and improve the page rendering.

Senh: What about plug-ins, add-ons, and extensions? That's one of the main reasons why I'm sticking with Firefox - that, the awesome bar, and speed.

About a month ago, if you want access to your Dropbox files from your Windows Mobile phone, your only option is Ruttensoft's CloudFiles. Now, they have a competitor - Droppedboxx. It's not as fully featured as CloudFiles, but it gets the job done, especially if all you want to do is ftp between your phone and your Dropbox account.

The only feature I miss from CloudFiles is the internal text editor, but I can live without it. Price wise, the official releases for Cloud Files and Droppedboxx are $6.99 and $2.99 respectively.

I just installed Read It Later and Screengrab for Firefox and Firebug Lite for Chrome. All three add-ons/extensions are really helpful in my day-to-day management of Wopular.

Senh: What I'm wondering is how they're gonna navigate the TV screen? Is it gonna be multi-touch wireless remote or something similiar to what we currently have. If that's the case, then navigation's gonna be bitch. I could see a lot of potential in it. Being able to watch YouTube videos, play games, view photo galleries, etc... on the TV would be pretty nice.
