On opera.wapland.org you can download an extended version of Opera Mini with new features. We have the Palm version here, it needs of course the IBM Java VM like the original Opera Mini:

New features are:

• no title or foot bar - more space for site contents (tap the screen in the lower left corner to open the menu)
• copying text - but this shouldn’t be relevant on a Palm
• importing and exporting bookmarks (from / to a VFS device)
• downloading files to a VFS device
• opening links in the system’s browser (e. g. Blazer)
• saving page to card (and loading it of course)
• getting plain text of a page, saving it to card
• auto reloading page
• file manager (VFS)
• statistics
• shortcuts / customation

There are even never versions with much more interesting features like tabbed browsing and so on, but they don’t work on a Palm.

I don’t know if this is an original version, an extended or “hacked” version because I don’t talk Russian, but it shows how much you can do with J2ME. So let’s hope that some of this features (tabbed browsing, real downloading) will appear in the next “official” release!
