Well, what do you know? Steve Jobs steps down (temporarily) as the CEO of Apple and the App Store starts selling third party browsers that compete with Safari. Although these probably aren’t related at all, they are both true. However, Apple hasn’t allowed just one extra browser, they have allowed four: Edge Browser, Webmate, Incognito, and Shaking Web.
Although I haven’t been able to try any of these out yet, I’m sure they all have advantages and disadvantages compared to Apple’s very own Safari. Even if they are worse then Safari, I think the overall idea of this is more important. Apple’s allowing of these apps shows that the restrictions they have put on their app store have been lessened quite drastically. That’s something to get excited about.
These browsers range from free to $1.99. If you ask me, charging for a browser on the App Store seems like it would be extremely unsuccessful when the iPhone comes with a pretty great browser pre-installed. Unless this browser is Google’s Chrome or Mozilla’s Firefox (which I can’t wait to see in the App Store now), I don’t think enough people will flock to them to change Safari’s market share on mobile devices all that much. Even if it does, does it really matter for Apple? The positive PR for allowing these is more important than that small hit in my opinion.
