Hi people, nowadays surfing is an integral part of our daily routine. You can get hell a lot information from web. But in this speeding life we ain't get time to drop at our workstation or laptop to key in the web pages we want to look. Thanks to mobiles and mobile browsing ,they get the info you want no matter wherever whenever in just a click or touch. But the mobile browsing stuff seriously missing some thing. And that is Unicode support. Obviously you cannot view web pages which contains regional language fonts say websites containing Tamil fonts in my case. If you try to open these web pages you will get □□□□□□□□ kind of thing. So whats the fix?
Here where opera mobile comes to the rescue. Already all the mobiles supporting Java will support Opera for sure. Opera is very light and fast browser. Opera uses its web servers to compress the data and then will send it to your phone, this way it is bit faster than other browsers. It is also free. You need not to install Opera .jar only. If you have an android based mobile, Opera mobile is already available in the market and similarly for windows mobile and symbian. So you already installed the Opera mobile, don't blame if you are not getting regional fonts , there is a quick work around for that.
After installing Opera Mobile, Type "opera:config" and press go. You will be pointed to a config page. In the config page go to the setting "Use Bitmap for complex scripts" and enable it by selecting YES. That's it and now you will be able to view all regional website as well. What's happening actually is that the opera servers convert the pages containing regional fonts in to bit maps and send them to the device. So now you think you can read any web page in your mobile. Really, not possible what about Flash content? Na don't speak like Steve jobs. Get a Nexus one with Froyo that's all we can do.
Thanks to pkp.in for giving me this info..
Bye for now.
