In case you’re not a Safari Mobile fan you’re probably looking for alternative solutions to go online from your iPhone. Well we have some bad news for you. Apple wants you to use its browser. Opera Mini hasn’t been allowed into the App Store which means you won’t be able to get it working on your iPhone or iPod touch yet. Will it be available for jailbroken iPhones? Opera fans will certainly be waiting for that to happen.

Although it was initially scheduled to be released two days ago, the Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta launched today. You can download it and test it out as long as you have a Windows Mobile 5 or 6 powered touchscreen-only smartphones.
