Regular readers will note that I’m an avid fan of Opera Mini for cellphones. Most phones’ built-in browser sucks, pure and easy. While Opera Mini isn’t as good as a desktop browser, it’s still simple enough to use on a small screen that it’s a no-brainer.

When the Goog finally introduced Android, I was impressed. It’s a step in the right direction and something someone should have done a while ago.

Now Opera is working on an Android-native version of Opera Mini, and that gets me very excited. Two great tastes that taste great together or whatever.

What’s notable is that Opera Mini usually runs on a Java virtual machine, however the Android version will run with the OS itself, meaning it’ll be faster, slimmer, and grant for more OS interoperability. That means it will rock.

While we’ve known that Blockbuster was looking to get into digital distribution since they bought Movielink, according to a very confident Reuters, Blockbuster will be announcing a streaming set top box for customers to download movies directly to their televisions (a la Vudu, Apple Television, etc). That’s an important point, as Reuters stood firm that it will specifically not be a service for TiVo or Xbox 360 but a product offering a service. Herein lies the mistake. [Reuters]

The cell phone is a wonderful piece of technology that makes life more convenient and productive. But with the good comes the bad. Mobile phones can be misused by criminals and terrorists to commit crimes. Vital information that is meant to remain confidential can be high jacked by an in intrusive cell phone left on to overhear sensitive conversations. A mobile phone’s camera can take photos of protected information. And terrorist can use a cell phone to detonate a bomb.

To combat these problems, AirPatrol has launched an advanced cell phone detection and location solution to help businesses and governments protect against the threats posed by the use of cell phones for fraud, crime and interference with business operations. AirPatrol’s WiVision Enterprise cell phone detection product detects and locates all cell phone devices on any cellular band worldwide to enforce no-wireless zones in areas where mobile phone usage puts business, data or people at risk.

AirPatrol is able to detect and locate both Wi-Fi and broadband radio devices. This helps mitigate security risks posed by wireless laptops and other Wi-Fi devices.

“In the last few years, the sophistication of cell phone technology has increased dramatically– the implications of these new, hybrid phones in the hands of millions of people has huge security and regulation implications for many industries,” stated Nicholas Miller, CEO of AirPatrol. “AirPatrol’s cell phone detection product turns the tables on criminals and would-be criminals by providing a highly reliable and sophisticated solution for detecting, and more importantly, locating the devices they rely on to perpetrate their crimes.”

AirPatrol works both indoors and outdoors. It is able to detect a cell phone before a call is made and is capable of detecting all SMS messages.

The United Says plans to create a national emergency alert system that utilizes text messages that will be delivered to mobile phones. CTIA estimates over 48 billion text messages are sent each month, so regulators believe this is a good medium to use when there is a national or regional emergency.

In 2006, the United Says passed the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, which requires upgrades to the nation’s emergency alert system. The law requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to develop ways to alert the public about emergencies.

“The capability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cellphones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families prior to, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” the commission chairman, Kevin J. Martin, said after the plan was approved.

Participation in the text message service will be voluntary for both carriers and customers. Any emergency messages sent to customers will be free and most in the industry support the service.

There will be three categories of emergencies that trigger a text alert. The first is a national alert from the president and involves national emergencies like terrorist attacks or natural disasters. The second involves imminent threats that can be predicted. This includes things like hurricanes or other predictable disasters. The third category would alert citizens about child abductions, which is currently called an Amber alert.

To differentiate an emergency alert from other messages, a unique audio signature or vibration cadence will be broadcast along with the message. The service may be up and running as early as 2010.

Anyone worried about Firefox’s penchant for leaving a huge memory footprint when it makes the move to mobile can breathe a tiny bit easier. The hard optimization tweaks made during Firefox 3’s development cycle have paid off: Benchmarks on Nokia’s N810 show that the latest Mobile Firefox build is six times faster than the built-in browser, which is actually based on a Firefox 3 alpha. But the coolest stuff is yet to come.

The touchscreen version was already looking pretty solid, but Mozilla plans on doing some real interface innovation to make it easier to punch in URLs and flip between multiple pages. Better still, it’ll have full add-on support so you can keep your favorite extensions. The mobile browser space is finally about to get actually exciting. [Ars Technica, Chris Blizzard]
