MacRumors reported this week that Apple, in a major policy shift, has approved third-party web browsers and utilities and that the iTunes store has begun making them available. (Until now Apple has generally not approved apps that duplicate functionality already on the iPhone.) MacRumors notes that the new browser utilities already available in the App Store include:
- Edge Browser — As I understand it, this lets you use the full screen in Safari, with no space taken away by the address or navigation bars. (free)
- WebMate:Tabbed Browser — Moves in the direction of tabbed browsing by queuing up the links of the web pages you've visited ($0.99)
- Shaking Web — A browser that compensates for shaking, such as if you're trying to read a web page while riding a bus ($1.99)
