Hmm, Android already has Webkit built in. which is basically to Mobile Safari. Which is already better then Opera. Add in the fact that wrappers slow down performance... and you're running something that's NOT a native app.
And you wanna talk Vaporware.. FireFox Mini is vaporware. But i bet it'll do the best it can to emulate Safari Mobile.
The J2ME to Android Java wrapper is probably pretty thin, and I doubt it makes much difference in performance. Also, how is this not a "native" app? Android's API is Java, so a "native" app would be running on the same JVM as this, just using different APIs.

no no. I'm saying that Android itself is vaporware. it's ridiculous. all of this hype over yet another linux-based mobile OS. it's just annoying.
and JAVA??? give me a BREAK!
i'm sorry, just a little frustrated.
While it's early-stage, I don't think I'd call MiniMo vaporware.
