The latest (unofficial) news from Apple is that the restrictions over third party web browsers on entering App Store has been lifted.For the past 24 hours,a cluster of mobile based web browsers (belonging to various third parties) such as Edge,Incognito,WebMate,ShakingWeb have entered App Store.

Earlier,Apple appeared quite rigid for any App Store policy amendments,specially for Mobile web browsers but it seems that Apple is accepting the fact that stopping 3rd party web browsers from contributing into App Store might give developers as well as users,another reason to choose ‘Android Market’ or latest entrant ‘Palm App Catalog’ over App Store.

Astoundingly,just after Apple loosened out its policies regarding Web browser for iPhone,bunch of web browsers got approved(they all were probably waiting for this policy amendment).

It’s very clear that we will see more policy amendments in the near future from Apple as they are now feeling stiff competition from Android and Palm and can’t afford to leave any stone unturned.

On the other side,mobile versions of popular web browsers such as Firefox and Opera,inspite of all that SDK restrictions, will now find great opportunities to dominate iPhone userbase in fastest possible way.

This will surely cause serious damages to Safari’s dynasty within iPhone userbase but such a policy amendment was somewhat inevitable and seems quite justified from Apple’s point of view.
