Note to BlackBerry users: If your handheld is running BlackBerry System Software previous to 4.0, you should use the Basic version of Opera Mini as these devices do not support the MIDP 2 standard for Java apps.
Also, Opera Mini for Blackberry is a native client and not Java.
No, Opera Mobile is the full browser written in C++. Opera Mini started out as a Java client, but was ported as a native application (C or C++) to Brew, and then to BlackBerry.
Thing is though, don't Apple have something like 20% of the smartphone market? Now, I know that's nothing like the dominance of Microsoft and Windows, but is there a point whereby their share of the market would make this a problem?
RIM has the monopoly in the smartphone market, not Apple.
