Just goes to show how different two person's experience can be... what platform are you on ? N800 ?

On my 770 this version is an incredible improvement over any of the previous ones. Of course the one just before (0.16.9) was the worst of all : difficult to install (missing dependencies) and so instable there was clearly something wrong - it never survived more than two or three clicks (on links, scrollbars, almost anything) and a handful of seconds...

This 16.11 is like a dream : the upgrade went right through, and it's been running for a couple of hours or more without crashing - itself or the tablet :-)

I've been making the rounds of all the sites I usually visit with the tablet, without any issues. As always, the browser startup is slow, but once it's loaded it's very fast, feels snappier than Opera.

Then I cycled through all the sites I can't - or don't dare - use with Opera because of the AJAX problem : Google mail (in full mode), Calendar and Maps, Netvibes, TiddlyWiki, sometimes together in several tabs... It does pause and think sometimes, but it did them all, and it's still going...

In my book this is more stable than Opera itself :-)

The new interface is much nicer and more usable.

This a very welcome surprise -- here we were thinking that minimo was all but dead in the water, and not only does it move ahead, but all of a sudden we jump from nice-but-flaky alpha versions to a perfectly usable beta...

Thanks Antonio ! Can't wait for 0.2 :-)
