Opera Mini Finally Comes To The iPad!

So you have Opera on almost every device on the planet but why was the iPad neglected again? Nobody knows. So the good news is that Opera is gonna show off it’s new version on a few devices atÂ MWC this year, including Android, iPhone, Java, BlackBerry, Symbian, and yes the iPad. Opera hasn’t announced what new features the updated Opera mini will bring but we’re sure that the iPad version will be pretty similar to the Opera for tablets displayed a few weeks ago. We hope the new Opera enables flash likes Skyfire for the iPhone and iPad which converts flash into HTML5 which is playable on the iDevices.

HTC has no plans of releasing a new Android tablet in the near future

If you are a die hard HTC fan and were looking forward to buying an HTC branded Android tablet in the near future you are out of luck. In a disappointing announcement, the company’s global online communications manager Jeff Gordan revealed that HTC does not plan to release any new tablets in the near future. He in an official statement said that the company had a great learning experience by releasing the few tablets it released over the last few years and they met the their expectations. HTC released several unique Android tablets in the market including HTC Flyer, Evo View 4G and Jetstream that although offered something new to the market, they failed to create any disruption in the tablet space that has been long dominated by Apple’s iPad.

Jeff Gordan of HTC also said that his company will be watching the development in the tablet industry very closely. While Jeff did not reveal when HTC will attempt to strike back in the tablet market, we certainly hope to see a HTC produced Android or Windows 8 tablet at some point next year because it will be a shame to see a company like HTC leaving the tablet arena for good.
