The worldly concern is observation you Cupertino.

Will Steven and the regular army of turtlenecks approve this diligence? It follows every single ruler in the iPhone 3rd political party exploitation EULA. Since web pages ar rendered on a remote server, and not locally, it should go through the App Store without a hitch … but something tells me there’s departure to be a problem.

Apple will not approve it, iPhone developers volition insult the platform, TechCrunch will write about it, and Android gross sales volition step-up ever so slightly. Opera Mini already works on BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM), Windows Mobile, Symbian, and J2ME devices. Over 50 1000000 people around the world are exploitation the browser. It’s a pretty big trade in emerging economies were there is no 3G information, and for Americans on AT&T living in a dense urban environs.
