That's Opera Mini on the iPhone, not Mobile. Mobile probably won't appear on the iPhone soon, because Apple don't allow rendering engines other than Safari on the phone.

We're still working on the iPhone version of Mini, lots of improvements coming your way.

Travelling by road seems to be the most dangerous thing in Nigeria. Signs like this made me laugh at first, not so much once you'd seen a few nasty crashes every week (I used to live just off the Kaduna-Zaria expressway). http://imgur.com/mefcYX6

Do you know if there are any decent road-accident statistics these days? I couldn't find any on the FRSC site.

Opera Mini is a mixture of C/C++ and Pike on the server side, and various languages (depending on platform) on the client side.

My favourite feature of all is the customisable search in Opera Mini, great for when you want to look something up quickly in Wikipedia or IMDB. Mini in general is pretty amazing, but then I'm biased.

My favourite on desktop is being able to navigate backwards and forwards using just the left and right mouse buttons. Apart from that: speed-dial and Opera Link.

Yes. In the UK you usually don't need to fill in a tax return at all if your income is from an employer. Tax is deducted from automatically and shown on your payslip.

In Sweden you have to confirm that the tax return prefilled by the tax authority is correct. You can do that online or by SMS. Most deductions are prefilled too. Unfortunately I still have a private pension in the UK so I spend about five minutes per year logging in, filling in a number and electronically signing my return.
