This article is intended to provide a summary of all the most important information about the Opera Mini Browser for mobile devices and considerations for developing for this browser when building mobile web applications that target the browser…

Overview

On my current project, I have been charged with the responsibility of getting a web application designed to work on the iPhone to work on a BlackBerry by any means necessary. My first route for making this happen, of course, was to simply access the iPhone-based web application from the BlackBerry browser on the Storm, see what didn’t work, and use methods to fix the problems encountered that involved the least amount of change to the vendors source code (which is a Tomcat based JSP application running on Windows Server called PatientKeeper).

I came across a quote today while surfing the web randomly on transcendentalism:

“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common–this is my symphony.”–William Henry Channing

Another quote I found some time ago strikes a similar tone:

“To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – this is to have succeeded.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thoughts on life of this quality must make one think there should be a revival of transcendentalism as a movement. These guys had it right.
