It's a nice piece of marketing though :)
And if it gets Opera more column inches and get peoples attention then I think it's a great thing.
I agree, and even if (as seems likely) Apple rejects the application, then it will only garner Opera with more publicity and good press, and Apple with bad press.Quote:

What next? Opera to create a version specifically for Microsoft staff to use at work? :)
If the iPhone gets pocket opera, all it will need is a good screen and I'll probably buy one.
How come Apple are allowed to have a monopoly on the web browser on the iphone?
Because its their device, theyre not as large as Microsoft and noone can find a good enough excuse to investigate them over things.Quote:
