Simple. Opera Mini is java based. They are most likely talking about Opera Mobile which is programmed to perform off the Operating System platform. Any phone that is compatible with Java can run Opera Mini, but I don't think it renders in real time. Another server renders the page before sending it to your phone.

Opera does the same thing with Opera Mini, puts the text in a web page in a column and thus optimizing it for the handset.

Correct, prefetching is a little different I believe. And yes, Mobile does cost unless you snag the Beta. Mini is java based and has no Flash support as far as I know. Not sure if Mobile does or not, I usually just pop up Skyfire for Flash sites. But Opera Mobile does seem to run a lot better, it's hard to explain. Grab the Beta and see for yourself.
