> Opera Mini for iPhone: Will Apple approve it?
via [macworld.com](http://www.macworld.com/article/146470/2010/02/operaminiiphone.html?lsrc=rss_main)
Short answer: No.
Because Apple is a giant, evil company that wants to limit competition? No.
Because Opera for iPhone violates a very clearly spelled-out policy within the iPhone SDK strictly forbidding the use of web rendering engines other than WebKit?
Bingo.
Why do companies bother developing entire applications they know can’t be approved? They think they’re going to win the media battle and embarrass Apple into submission?
Good luck with that.
You can disagree with Apple’s policy of not allowing non-webkit browsers, you can petition Apple to change its policy, but you can’t build a non-webkit browser and then act surprised and angry when Apple doesn’t approve it.
