Opera Mini 4 Beta has a solid competitor and alternative in the form of a new Java J2ME based mobile web browser called Teashark. This mobile web browser should be compatible with any MIDP 2.0 supporting device such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Palm, Motorola, LG, Samsung and Windows Mobile (with JVM). Teashark supports synchronization with the desktop PC and aims to offer a desktop-like browsing experience on a mobile device.

Here are some of the key features of Teashark Mobile:

Full Web: TeaShark renders web pages the same way as desktop browsers.

Intelligent Mouse navigation:
-the cursor jumps to the next link to click, saving you the trouble
-navigate as fast or slow as you need with page up and down, left and right
-jump to content: the display snaps to the text you’re reading.

Data compression: Within TeaShark, all unnecessary information in a web page is discarded and the page is compressed to a fraction of its original size.

Slide to your history instantly: Easily slide back and forth in your browsing history.

Rotate to Landscape: Switch 90 degrees between Landscape and Portrait mode by pressing “0″

Zooming: Press 5 and view your page from a distance, a zoomed-out page with a mangifier showing you where you are. Scroll in zoomed-out mode to navigate quickly, and press 5 again to zoom into exactly where you want to be.

Smart address entry/Autocomplete: The engine remembers common patterns - popular sites, URLs - and the addresses you have visited*(browser history), incrementally filling the adress bar as you type.

Text Find: Like Firefox, TeaShark allows you to search for any text on the page, and immediately jumps to the match it finds.

Click and Search: Press 1, select your search engine from the list. Mark the words that you want to lookup and select “Search”.

Bookmark/RSS synchronization: TeaShark allows you to migrate your desktop bookmarks to your phone, and back again. Manage your feeds through the TeaShark web interface, and synchronize them with your phone.

Secure connection: Communication between the TeaShark client and server is encrypted by an 128-bit encryption.
