So the somewhat popular Opera internet browser might or might not be coming to iPhone. Why the confusion you may ask?
At the CES 2008 a member of Opera’s development team David Rosén told in a video interview (below) to UberPulse that Opera is coming to iPhone.
However, in a later update posted on Wired, Opera communications manager Michelle Valdivia Lien stated that “This is one of those cases of an enthusiastic developer answering a question theoretically. There are no current release plans for Opera Mini or any version of Opera for iPhone.”
So whatever the case is (developer being overly enthusiastic or communications manager pulling a plug on a potential early information leak), we will most likely have to wait for iPhone SDK to come out to find out the truth.

According to a leaked Vodafone 2008 roadmap that recently surfaced online, Canadian handsets manufacturer Research In Motion has plans to launch a new model of its BlackBerry line of PDA/mobiles that will mimic some of iPhone’s design decisions.
According to the document the new BlackBerry handset will keep its traditional look and will include a keyboard and smaller than iPhone’s screen, but will now make use of iPhone’s black and steel colors.
The new BlackBerry like the iPhone will offer Wi-Fi and unlike the iPhone will also offer GPS. The leaked document designates this new product as “BlackBerry’s new flagship device targeted at senior execs.”
Vodafone spokesperson Ben Taylor confirmed authenticity of the leaked document, however saying that “It was an early draft of a road map for 2008. So some of the details will have changed.”
Spokesperson for RIM declined to comment on this information.

Although it’s been long rumored that Microsoft is working on a “ZunePhone” iPhone killer, outgoing Microsoft chairman Bill Gates stated that it’s not so.
In an interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung published on Wednesday he is quoted as saying “No, we won’t do that [release an iPhone competitor]. In the so-called smart phone business we will concentrate solely on software with our Windows Mobile program.”
“We have partnerships with a lot of device manufacturers from Samsung to Motorola and this variety brings us significantly more than if we would make our own mobile phone,” he explained Microsoft’s point of view.
At the same time, in his last Sunday address at the CES 2008 he announced a “digital decade†of telephones, televisions and cars that respond to voice and touch. “This is the area that people underestimate the most,†he said.
And it’s worth noting that only a year ago Bill Gates was of completely other opinion towards touch screen powered devices. When asked whether he would buy an iPhone during an interview he responded “Well, of course, I’m the wrong person to ask. I like to dial numbers with one hand, and maybe I’m the only one. The phone space is where we think software will be the critical element. If there’s anything good about the iPhone, it’s software.” (story).
