Here’s a guaranteed way to drum up support for an upcoming press event: claim the impossible. Opera just announced a press and partner preview of its Opera Mini browser for the iPhone at Mobile World Congress. You read that right — for the iPhone. Of course, the real intent of this stunt is to draw our incredulous attention to Opera’s Mobile and Mini browsers running on platforms where the software is actually released like Symbian, Windows Mobile, and Android. Besides, as good as the Mini browser is, it, like Mobile Safari, doesn’t support Flash. And since Apple isn’t likely to approve any browser that duplicates functionality it already provides, really, what’s the point of all this? A Cydia store release?
