Here's the first video review of Opera Mobile beta for Android:

It looks really, really smooth running on this HTC Desire but.....

It seems to have single tap to zoom. I DESPISE this 'feature' as sometimes it decides to zoom when you miss hitting a link, or tap the screen without scrolling. This happens all the time on my N810, and I wish that it could be disabled. Pinch/double-tap is enough for me.

This (from my perspective) is the first glaring flaw of the software, and reason why I'd likely avoid it. I prefer interfaces that I don't have to tip-toe around at the peril of producing unwanted results. I had thought that pinch-to-zoom would have replaced this feature.

I'm not the only one that thinks this is TERRIBLE. On the reputable quirksmode blog, he cuts into this issue (close to the bottom of the article), as being inane UI design:

Ah well. Here's hoping that the GL accelerated stock browser smooths scrolling, so I can wholly ignore opera mobile.
