claidheamhmorBlackberry App World was (finally!) made available to Blackberry users in South Africa a few weeks ago. Nice to finally browse all the apps available; because I'm a cheapskate though, that means the free apps. :)
Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 was released yesterday, and I gave it a try. It's far better than the previous beta, and seems slick and quick. It now supports Opera Sync, so all my settings and bookmarks were just downloaded off the net, and it seems better integrated with the Blackberry. On the downside, the tabs are somewhat fiddly, and Opera doesn't have much in the way of useful keyboard shortcuts - stuff like T for top, B for bottom, keys for switching tabs, etc. Also, on mobile pages, having a mouse-cursor is just irritating; I preferred it when scrolling up or down simply ran through the available links on the page. Still, it['s a nice improvement.
