14 Jan 09 Third-Party Browsers Are Available in the App Store
The unthinkable has happened yet again. Apple has decided to allow third-party browsers in the App Store, which is a great move. Wonder how long this one is going to last?
Four web browsers have been added since yesterday. They are either free or cost just $1.99. In the past Apple has decided to pull any application that violated the SDK so why the change of mind? Is it related to Apple’s CEO decision to take a leave until June? Or is it a response to Palm and their new webOS? Is Apple scared of the competition? Is that a move to convince developers that Apple is willing to widen its views? In any case, go get those new browsers before someone at Apple realizes what they did and pull them off the air! And these are:
- Edge Browser (Free) – No loss of screen real estate to the address or navigation bars.
- Incognito ($1.99) – Now you can browse without leaving a history of any kind.
- WebMate:Tabbed Browser ($0.99) – Web Mate simplifies browsing by queuing up all the links you click on, then allowing you to view them one by one when you’re ready.
- Shaking Web ($1.99) – adds a sophisticated algorithm to compensate for small hand shaking to allow for easier reading.
