Does anyone know of any Gopher clients for mobile phones? Does the
Opera Mini client handle Gopher pages? It would seem gopher could be
a rather good protocol to use with mobile phones.

If the mobile phone is running some form of Linux, could you install
Gopher or Lynx? I doubt if Opera Mini supports Gopher, as the full-sized
Opera doesn't. I agree that Gopher should work well on a small-screen
low-powered device - after all, that is all anyone had when the protocol
was devised.

That is a really good idea.

I'd imagine Opera Mini does not support it.
