After watching the Google I/O conference I am becoming more tempted to go with an android powered phone, this browser just became another reason.

I actually like the fact that it plays the flash videos in a separate player. this keeps videos and ads that autoplay from slowing down my web browsing. Apple should have just implemented flash this way on the iPhone. Speaking of apple, I don't like the whole pages view that was ripped from Safari, I really like the way opera handles tabs with a small bar at the bottom that doesn't take me away from the page I am currently viewing.

Good thorough review Ron, and another reason for me to consider going Android. My ATT contract is up in December, so I am going to wait until then and see what Android powered phones are offered like the Nexus Two and how they stack up against the iPhone 4G and possibly Windows Phone 7 Series.
