Even though we don't have enough data on Indic language usage with Opera
Mini, I want to add one point here. Opera Mini provides a server side
rendering for complex scripts for eg. Indic languages. I know many users
of this feature. Considering the high cost of mobiles that can render
Indic content properly(iphone, Maemo), this server side rendering feature
provides a way to 'read' Indic content in any low cost-average cost mobile
phones.
