A version of Opera, "Opera Mini": <http://www.operamini.com/> is available for some mobile devices - it is both free and good. Perhaps the way forward is to lobby for such third-party add-ons to offer better features, such as uF support, and hope the device makers will then play catch-up with their own software. >I thought the iPhone would be better than that.. but I haven't seen one yet. >From the reviews I've read, I'm not surprised. >I was always somewhat dismayed at the lack of support for transferring >contacts/events/etc in any standard formats on many mobile devices ..

I can't even copy plain text from web pages using the native browser on my Nokia N95; nor for that matter, with Opera Mini - though I have more confidence in the ability being added to the latter. I do, though, synch my calendar with Outlook's calendar, which I use on my desktop PC (and could also synch it with my Lotus Notes' calendar, at work, except all my colleagues have access to that..!) -- Andy Mabbett _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
