    Better, OPERA MINI should come to CYDIA or INSTALLER

    Please release for CYdia or Installer so that we can enjoy opera mini.

    Every application that gets rejected from apple itunes should be available on Cydia or Installer

    This just gives further proof to the fact that Apple do not like competition.They sell iPhones locked to a provider that has a contract with them and now they do this...just crazy...

    I think this is not a good thing. Apple rejecting a major vendor's application without providing a reasonable explanation will potentially set off a backlash in the iPhone development community. Especially when it is with an application with a large fan base.

    I too agree with the author of the article that Safari is very good and it is getting better by the day as the development of WebKit continues.

    Having an open competitive environment is what made the Macintosh development community strong. Over the past 24+ years I had seen Macintosh software developers fails because they did not follow Apple's development guidelines. This is due to the fact that the Macintosh user community is extremely particular and critical on the applications that use.

    I think Apple should allow Firefox and Opera to be on the iPhone, and then let the iPhone user community decides which will survive.

    If Apple is confident enough of WebKit and Safari they will do as I had suggest.
