Any news on opera mini for iPhone yet?

I know they submitted it a few days ago but any new news?

Still awaiting approval. An app for tvcatchup has apparantly been awaiting approval since November, so I wouldn't expect any news soon.

I'm pretty sure Apple will kill it. With the preview of OS 4.O later today which might include preview of a new browser, Apple will be justified in killing it for duplicating core features.

Not necessarily. They approved iCab, so chances are good they will approve Opera, too.

I hope so....but we'll see, lol.

Doesn't iCab just use the Safari webkit renderer for viewing? I thought all of the "browser" apps in the AppStore are essentially just putting a different face on the safari browser.

They also approved the Perfect Browser. Perfect has a bookmark for Safari that enables you to switch from Safari to Perfect. However, a browser that is not the default has to be a lot better than Safari to make it worthwhile to switch.

Update: the app was approved and is live in the app store for free.
