That sort of app would be called a "web browser".

  Right, and does Apple allow alternate web browsers? Last I knew they disapproved anything that competed with an iPhone built-in app, like Google Voice, which duplicated phone functionality.

    Yep. A couple I know off the top of my head are iCab and Opera.

      iCab and all other "browsers" on iOS are skins round the built in webkit. (It would be interesting to see if and how they are effected by this bug). Opera hasn't released its actual browser for iOS since doing so is banned by Apple's policies. Same for Mozilla. What they have released is Opera Mini which displays pages rendered by what is effectively a server-side browser.

        Apple took a long time to approve Opera, but they finally did: http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/opera-mini-web-browser/id363729560 http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/opera-mini-web-browser/id3637...

          Their mobile browser is called Opera Mobile, Opera Mini is something slightly different from a browser, for example it doesn't execute client-side javascript.
