Nokia is coming out with their “internet tablet”, which runs a Mozilla version over GTK+. but still the chances of something like this getting to normal cellular handsets in the near future are pretty slim (Linux powered mobile phones not withstanding)

The benefits of Opera is that you can get proper web browsing on today’s handsets – they have a huge range of supported platforms – and they even have a “mini version” which works on any J2ME capabale device.

Opera still has a valid buisness model – heck: I paid for it 🙂
