It's even better hearing it the millionth time. Mini Opera is been used by 40 Million users worldwide, thats more than how many people are in Jamaica, way more. You can also download Mini Opera to be used on your Android Emulator, but before I reveal the link I must let you know some known issues! Known Issues: * Small painting issues * The Back command isn't yet mapped to the device back button
