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.

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.

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

I like [URL="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/atomic-web-browser-lite-fullscreen/id355513788?mt=8&at=10l3Vy]Atomic [/URL]web browser better. I bought the full version, cuz it's an iPad app too.
