Why, I ask, can I post in html from my G1's webbrowser, yet I can't just got to compose and post a blog. Now, don't get me wrong, I am extremely pleased with the G1, and this is just a minor annoyance, but how is it that a phone that is based on Gooogle's Android mobile OS cannot function with a part of a site that is owned and ran by Google? It isn't a flash based site, and the html editor works, so why the compose editor doesn't work really has me confused.
While I'm on the subject of the G1, I noticed that Opera Mini is now available in the market place, so I decided to download it and give it a shot because I was a pretty big fan of it on my Blackberry Pearl, and I figured it couldn't hurt to try it on here. I hate to say it, but I was wrong. The performance of the browser is really laggy, and the zoom feature doesn't work on all sites (this one is a perfect example). On top of that, it loads mobile versions of several sites (Gizmodo and Cracked are two good examples). I'll be uninstalling Opera and that troubles me a bit. I've been a fan of Opera for some time now, but this is putting a sour taste in my mouth for future iterations of anything Opera related and I don't know if I'll give any future version of Opera Mini (beta version or not).
