Well, we had reported before that the Opera Mini browser had been rejected from the App Store, but recent news states that it was never submitted in the first place, let alone having been rejected?!?!...
Earlier, I had wrote that Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, Co-founder/ CEO of Opera told New York Times in an interview that:
"Opera’s engineers have developed a version of Opera Mini that can run on an Apple iPhone, but Apple won’t let the company release it because it competes with Apple’s own Safari browser."
With this being said, John Gruber believes that the statement by CEO of Opera might not be a direct quote by him but something that was "reworded" by New York Times reporter, Saul Hansell.
John had thought that one of the reasons the app might have gotten rejected was because Opera Mini was using its own Javascript interpreter which is not permitted by iPhone SDK's agreement.He has clarified that his speculation was wrong, after he researched to find out that Opera Mini doesn't have it's own interpreter.
He explains:
"In a nut, it works like this: You request a URL in Opera Mini. Opera Mini makes the request to a proxy server run by Opera. Opera’s proxy server connects to the web server hosting the requested URL, and renders the page into an image. This image is then transmitted (in a proprietary format called OBML — Opera Binary Markup Language) to the Opera Mini client. Opera Mini displays the rendered image on screen. This may sound convoluted, but apparently the result is very effective — it’s faster to transmit, because only OBML (a compressed binary format) is transmitted to the mobile device over the phone network, and far faster to render on slow mobile processors."
Since Opera Mini for other mobile devices is developed using Java which isn't supported on the iPhone, Opera would have to port Opera Mini to C and Objective-C APIs to be able to submit their iPhone app to the App Store.
However, even if Opera manages to develop Opera Mini for the iPhone, which abides by the iPhone's SDK agreement, there is still possibility of it getting rejected.
There has been no official statement from Apple or Opera to clarify this situation.Keep checking up on www.iphonehacksnmods.com/ and I'll keep posting as soon as I hear the latest and greatest news!!
Anybody have any ideas?!?! What do you think of this situation?
