Opera promised that it’d be here within a month (they actually said within “this” month back in October, but we won’t dock points for that), and we’ve just learned that Opera Mobile should be headed to Android November 9th. (That’s in 4 days, by the way.) They’ve announced that hardware acceleration will be enabled in the final version of Opera, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be in this version of the beta (just as Opera’s Phillip Gronvold suggested it might not.)
And they’re also giving you a chance to win one of two new Android phones by entering their wallpaper contest. Click here for more on that if you’re interested. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. I’ve always been excited by the browser wars on desktop, and now the Android front is finally starting to come to fruition. Dolphin, Xscope, and Firefox better be on their A-game.
