Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch could soon have a new web browser; Norwegian software maker Opera said it has created version of its mobile browser that is compatable with Apples handheld devices. Currently the only browser for the iPhone and iPod Touch is Safari, but if Apple says agree to Opera, this would open the door for other software companies to try and feature their browser on the device as well.
Opera says they've taken steps to ensure that the application meets App Store standards on quality, safety, looks, and other criteria. Despite this, seeing this browser make it into the App Store may be wishful thinking. A competitive alternative to any built-in Apple application generally doesn't sit well with the company. It's for this reason that there's a good chance they may reject the Opera Mini browser when it is finally submitted for approval into the store.
