News: Third-party browsing apps appear on App Store
iLounge | All Things iPod, iPhone, iTunes and beyond —
In a shift away from its prior policy of barring third-party web browsing applications on the basis that they duplicated existing functionality, Apple has allowed a small group of third-party browsing apps to appear in the App Store. Amongst the new apps are Edge Browser ...
Google Chrome, Firefox Coming To Apple iPhone?* (AAPL)
Silicon Alley Insider —
In a somewhat surprising move, Apple (AAPL) has opened the door to third-party iPhone Web browsers. (Sort of. See update below.) Several Web browsers have recently appeared in the iTunes store with submission dates dating back to October, MacRumors' Arnold Kim reports. These include apps like Edge Browser, which has no address or nav bars; Incognito, which lets you browse "without leaving a history of any kind;" etc. What we're more interested in: Whether Mozilla will develop an iPhone edition of Firefox, or whether Google (GOOG) will port ...

Four third-party Web browsers appear on Apple's App Store
AppleInsider —
... approval of four third-party browsers, each of which are now available for download. The move is surprising given that the iPhone maker has shown resistance in the past to accepting new applications to its digital software store that replicate any of the core functionalities of its handheld products, such as their built-in Safari web browser or ability to download podcasts over the air. In each case, the four accepted browsers -- Edge Browser , Webmate , Incognito , and Shaking Web -- are based on Apple's Webkit framework, the same set of ...
Apple Changing ‘Duplicate Functionality’ Policy? New 3rd Party Web Browsers Appearing in App Store
IntoMobile - Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis —
Times, they are a changin’. Especially when it comes to inclusion policies within the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) App Store. Word is spreading now that Apple may have/is making a shift in their strict ‘duplicate functionality’ policies.
When the App Store submission process opened, many developers from all over the globe were stunned when their apps were turned away for offering too many features similar to Apple’s own apps. Dubbed ‘duplicate functionality’ by Apple, developers were scorned and left bitter about the whole thing, until now…Perhaps. Because as I said earlier, the times… they are a ...
iPhone Opens to Some 3rd-Party Web Browsers, But Not Mobile Firefox
Wired: Epicenter —
Apple appears to have reversed its policy of rejecting apps that compete with the company’s own iPhone web browser, Mobile Safari. A slew of alternative browsers have suddenly popped up in the App Store offering iPhone fans some new ways to browse the web.
So far Apple has made no official announcement regarding its change of heart and it remains to be seen whether this reversal will apply to other apps that compete with Apple’s stock offerings. For instance, MailWrangler and Podcaster were both denied spots in the App Store for duplicating the functionality of Apple apps. As of this writing, both are still unavailable.
While the ...
Third-party apps enhance web browsing for iPhone, iPod touch
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
Filed under: Apple Corporate, Software, Internet Tools, App StoreEarlier this week, there was a sudden influx of web browsing applications in the App Store. Mac Rumors points out that some of them, most notably Edge Browser [App Store link], have very old release dates even though they only showed up in the store recently (Edge Browser's release date is listed as Oct. 13, '08). It's important to note that these aren't true third party browsers, but enhancements to Mobile Safari. What's interesting is that Apple has previously rejected applications for "duplicating functionality" of some of their own software. ...
First Look: New Web Browsers for iPhone
Macworld —
by Brennon Slattery , PC World The following article is reprinted from the Today@PC World blog at PCWorld.com . Here’s a hands-on look for the new Web browsers available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Edge Browser The main feature of the free Edge Browser is that it removes the clutter from an ordinary Safari Web page to present sites in full-screen glory. Besides the reception, time, and battery bar at the top of your iPhone’s screen, you should see nothing but the page. Problem is, all I saw was nothing. I loaded the browser, and as I was trying to figure out how you’re supposed to leave the Apple ...

Mac|Life all RSS Feed —
[image] In the last day, Apple has begun to approve third-party web browsing apps for the iPhone. A slew of web browsing apps have hit the App Store, with original submission dates from as far back as October of last year. Though Apple has made no official statement, there is some speculation that all this time the browser applications were actually awaiting approval.

Regardless there are a variety of browser applications, including: - Edge Browser , a free app with address and navigation ...
The Week in iPhone Apps: And We Have Reached A New Low [IPhone Apps]
Gizmodo —
... Incognito Browser: And finally, we saw Apple lift its restriction on browser replacement apps this week, so long as they're based on WebKit. So far, no one's doing anything much more interesting than giving you a separate porn browser that doesn't record history or cache. If you have been waiting for a porn browser for you iPhone, my hat's off to you. Will be interesting to see if anyone else does anything novel with the new browser rules. $2 ...
