Opera Mobile 10.1 beta for Android is coming soon to all Android devices and Opera has just set up a new Opera Mobile Next site for this.

This was initially announced last month in a blog post on the Opera blog where they announced that Opera Mobile for Android will be released within a month.

Opera Mobile for Android will feature pinch-to-zoom, hardware acceleration and geolocation features – something not yet found in any other version of Opera Mobile.

Since the website is now up, I’m sure the first beta release of Opera Mobile 10.1 for Android is just somewhere around and will be released in the coming week. Opera Mini for Android is already a success, now I wonder how will Opera Mobile will go.

Opera Mobile for Android: Coming Soon

Huawei IDEOS is an entry-level Android0-based smartphone, that is powered by Froyo and is called “the world’s first affordable smartphone”. It fits perfectly well with the statement because it is being sold all over the world for around $150 only.

Huawei IDEOS Specifications

Considering the price, this phone offers some nice specifications that a smartphone of today would need. Some of them are:

• Display: 2.8-inch TFT touchscreen
• Processor: 528 MHz Qualcomm Processor
• Camera: 3.2 megapixels camera, no LED flash
• Memory: 256MB RAM, microSD slot
• Connectivity: Bluetooth, WiFi, microUSB upto 16GB
• Other: GPS, FM Radio, accelerometer, proximity sensor, Android Market
• OS: Android 2.2

Huawei IDEOS Review

IDEOS feels small when in your hands, but it’s not very lightweight. Build quality is good. Screen size is something about which I would complain, because smartphones deserve to have atleast 3.5-inches of screen. The phone is just not comfortable when typing a long message or text.

The touch buttons below the screen – back, menu, home, search – are responsive. But the round navigation button is something I was not happy with. Even the two buttons for answering/rejecting a call are useless. After Android 1.6, the calls buttons are not needed anymore.

Touchscreen is capacitive, but not of the very best quality. It’s responsive, but as I have said before, it’s small. You can’t even type properly. Same was the case with HTC Tattoo!

The best thing about the phone is that it comes with Froyo on board which gives you all good-iness of Android in this one small device. You get to try all the latest Android apps and games on the IDEOS, when there are still many devices who are on Android 2.1.

Overall, if you’re looking for an Android phone which runs the latest software and is also affordable – IDEOS is the best choice!

Huawei IDEOS Review

Skyfire for iPhone has been approved by Apple, and it will soon be available for download from the App Store for $2.99.

Flash support? Yes, it also comes with partial Flash support that allows you to watch videos from most of the popular video sharing websites i.e YouTube, Metacafe etc.

Skyfire can convert Flash videos into HTML5 on SkyFire's servers, which you can easily play on your iPhone from the browser itself. Skyfire does the same job on Android, and was released on it before iOS.

You won’t be able to play Flash games through Skyfire for iPhone. It only works with video content. Watch the first look of Skyfire 2.0 for iPhone below.
