The difference is that Opera Mini uses Opera's servers as some caching and compressing proxy server, it doesn't actually connect to nytimes.com like Mobile Safari in the demo.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini and especially http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini#Privacy_and_security

The eye opener for me is the lack of end to end security. I generally avoid doing anything requiring https on my iPhone, but now I know to NEVER do anything that requires security on Opera Mini. Of course, this assumes that it actually gets approved...

Opera Mini is a great product, but they could (and should) make it perform direct connections when in https mode.
