I love using Opera Mobile on my Kindle Fire. It's a fantastic experience and I can watch any flash content I want!

Seeing it move from Presto to Webkit kind of makes me nervous though. Is Webkit an open standard or it controlled by Google (a single entity?).

Competition is good and I would love to see Opera flourish like that.

The swipe features looks gorgeous.

WebKit was initially developed (as a fork of KHTML) by Apple, not Google. It is open source, though.
WebKit is an implementation of standards, not a standard itself, and is primarily developed by Apple.
Makes you wonder if Opera has thrown the towel on their device-stock-UA HTTP header proposal
