If you’ve wondered why nobody’s released an alternative iPhone web browser through the App Store, well, it’s probably because Apple isn’t letting anyone. At least, that’s the strong implication in a Wired interview with Mozilla boss John Lilly, who was asked whether its Firefox browser will be coming to Apple’s handset. In a word: no.
“Apple makes it too hard. They say it’s because of technical issues - they don’t want outsiders to disrupt the user experience. That’s a business argument masquerading as a technological argument. We’re focusing on more important stuff…”
You’d think Apple would be confident enough in its Safari browser to allow competition onto the handset, especially from established browser firms. Ah well.
I’d rather have flash on it more that
N anything else at the moment. Flash an we won’t need anoher browser
Urgh
Can’t do a dam thing right now…
