I recall just a couple of days ago <a href="http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/?p=488" target="_blank">someone</a> telling me that Ajax won&apos;t play nice on mobile devices and thought to myself, "Damn, he&apos;s right and that stinks". Well, looks like Opera, the makers of the Opera browser, have something to say about that:


"In addition to bringing the full Internet to devices, Opera 9 for Devices serves as a powerful execution environment for AJAX, Web applications and dynamic user interfaces."

Many of you may only know of the Opera desktop browser but Opera is also a big player in the mobile industry. This opens up the door to expand Ajax-powered applications beyond just the PC and provide solutions to a multitude of devices normally locked down by propietary environments.

So, it looks like my options for running those 37signals Ajax-powered apps just grew exponentially! ;)

In addition, Opera signed a reseller agreement to that would allow the Opera for Devices SDK to support the Macromedia&#xae; Flash&#xae; Player 7 SDK from Adobe. More choices for RIAs!
