The only announcement that could have surprised me more than Apple approving Opera Mini for the iPhone would be Apple supporting Flash. I really expected Opera to be blocked, it will be cool to have an alternative browser.
Steve Jobs has reportedly responded to a message sent from a user of the original iPhone telling the person that future updates won’t support the original iPhone. Jobs said at the iPhone OS 4.0 event that the old iPhone would no longer be supported.
Apple has removed all references to Google from its iPhone OS according to reports. Things may soon be looking up for Bing and its default iPhone search dreams.
Its’ good news, but no surprise about Opera being approved…
I guess apples lawyers haven’t forgotten the EU antitrust case that cost Microsoft a record 497m euro (approx: $690m), for ‘abusing its dominant market position’ with regard to the inclusion of IE and exclusion of other web browsers. Google, Apple, Mozilla all came to that party.
Bet this has made our Steve choke on his wheatie bakes :-D
