This I can't answer since i have never used an ipod. I use my Curve for all my media and songs. But Opera Mini will look a lot better than the browser on the Curve. It looks just like on a computer and will have a box on the screen. Put the box anywhere and click and it will zoom in. I don't even touch my browser anymore. All I use on my Curve for the internet is Opera Mini as it is the best one I have found.

Now when Skyfire comes out for all Blackberry devices, it is in Alpha testing right now on the Storm I believe, I will try it out and more than likely use it as Flash will work on it so I can watch hulu etc. on it.
