We’re not in Beta 2 territory here, but the folks at Opera have updated their Mobile v9.5 beta browser with a notification sound fix.
From the Opera Mobile blog:
We have updated the beta1 with a fix for the (very annoying) bug that turned off the notification sounds. The notification bugfix was relatively trivial and had a low risk. We are aware of the other bugs and issues, but these aren’t addressed in this update.
Visit the Opera Mobile web page to download the new build of Beta 1.

Microsoft’s Live Mesh is a service (and platform) we’re very excited about here at Pocket PC Central, so we’re very glad to see it continue to grow. On Wednesday, Live Mesh opened itself to more users as a “Technical Preview,” and today the good folks at Mesh have unveiled a new way to access your files from a mobile device (Windows Mobile, iPhone, etc.).
By pointing your mobile browser to http://m.mesh.com you can view and manage the files you have stored and synced with Mesh, right from your handheld. In addition to viewing the files on Mesh, the connection allows you to download, upload or even delete files and to view a list of users’ most recent Mesh activities (last files uploaded, folders created, etc.) Plus, the connection is secure, so you don’t have to worry about a packet sniffer stealing your price-winning recipe for chocolate chip cookies.
There’s still no Windows Mobile client for Live Mesh, but we’re sure to see one. Mesh is a fascinating platform which promises to make WinMo much more interesting over the coming years. It’s all about the Cloud…

The beta version of Opera Mobile 9.5 will be available for download on Thursday, July 17, 2008.
