coincidently an iPhone user too....

All connections (including non https) are secured in Opera Mini. It's thus actually MORE secure than a conventional browser...

I use Opera Mini all the time on my Android, it's WAY better than the included webkit browser. I'm looking forward to the full Opera Mobile 10.1 on Tuesday....

And as for the pinch to zoonm gimmick, it's already out for Android and coming in a update very soon for the Jesusphone.
