“Whatever its performance turns out to be like, Opera Mini has some features that might lead some folks to opt for it over Safari, at least on a part-time basis. It’s got Opera’s Speed Dial feature, which lets you get to favorite Web sites with one tap. It uses Opera Link to synchronize bookmarks with other copies of Opera on different devices. It lets you search for text within the current page, a pretty basic feature which Safari lacks.

On the other hand, Mini doesn’t try to match the desktop-like accuracy with which Safari renders Web pages: It just displays a rough approximation (albeit an acceptable one, at least on the pages I visited). And I don’t think it offers Safari’s ability to play YouTube videos.”

Remember Rucksack, the archive manager app we talked about some weeks ago? Thanks to this new kid on the block of Mac bundles (yeah, another one), Macbuzzer,  you can get a free license of Rucksack by simply tweeting a message, much like you had to do with MacHeist.

Included in the bundle are Sponge, MainMenu and Thoughts app, and each of them has some discount applied.

CNN reports that Opera’s spokesman Thomas Ford demonstrated Opera for iPhone at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival, confirming that the app has reached a pretty much stable beta stage, claiming a six times faster browsing speed than Safari. The submission to the App Store is now “weeks away”, and Opera is almost ready to show their newest mobile browser in public.

Also, from the same post:

“I wouldn’t say we’re trying to back Apple into a corner,” Ford said. “We feel that we’re very much following their rules.”

If you ask me, I think the app will be approved - especially after all the Apple / Google thing. But on the opposite, are we sure that sending all the traffic through Opera’s server is an acceptable compromise to have a faster experience?

An Australian trademark tribunal has rejected Apple’s attempt to prevent some companies from using a lowercase “i” in their names, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. At the center of the case is DOPi, a brand of bags and cases for Apple products sold by the Sydney-based Wholesale Central.

Apple complained to IP Australia, the government body behind the tribunal, that people could potentially confuse DOPi products for its own, as the name is a reversed take on “iPod.”

Good news is, now you can name your company “DAPi”.

Thanks to a video submitted over at iPadevice.com, we can now see all the settings that the iPad should contain at the official launch. The author of the video has enabled these settings by editing some strings in two .plist files. Passcode lock, picture frame and file sharing are included.

According to this post from Macity (Italian blog) Apple has started contacting publishers in regards of the imminent iPad launch, scheduled for late April. It seems like Apple is pushing for digital version of school books, a market which (personal experience) is really bloated in Italy. The launch of the Italian iBooks Store is rumored to happen this fall, and school books should be one the strongest selling points of the initial lineup.

Could Apple really save or reinvent the Italian publishing industry? Starting with the school system, I do hope so.
