Wow.

So fast.

Try turning horizontal on a complex page--safari doesn't even come close to the smoothness.

nice app. but i find the scrolling and zooming in/out a bit stiff. maybe it's just me.

oh i get it now, there's only 2 levels of zooming. no wonder.

Eh, kind of a let down. It sort of sucks.

1) I'm surprised they let the app through, but after the recent issues with blocking apps for really skethy reasons and the FCC inquiry, I guess they had no real choice

2) It blows safari out of the water speed-wise, gonna have to play around with it to see if it's as stable and robust as Safari, but I might just have found something to replace the default web app

Edit:
-Facebook is formatted differently but significantly faster than on Safari
-Opera Mini 5 seems to have problems opening the touch.facebook.com site
-iGoogle doesn't recognize the Opera browser as an iPhone app so the page is formated the way you'd get it on a BlackBerry or Windows Phone (i.e. Ugly and lackin features)
-MacInsiders loads much faster than in Safari, but only having 2 levels of zoom makes looking at any page not formatted for a mobile device a real pain
-2 Zoom levels is a real pain
-It lacks the controls for form entry (the little black bar above the keyboard that gives you the functions of Tab/Shift+Tab)
-Anything google related seems to suck on it
-Handles ELM better
-Can't do PDFs or Docs so far

Conclusion: Needs to mature before it'll be worth switching to

agreed. feels fast, but zooming scrolling and general feel is just bad. also seems to mess with fonts and make everything look weird.
