- angli 15y agoThere's no question of feeling sorry for Apple: a the largest Tech company in the world brought to it's knees by "iTether"? Not likely. But, it's really easy to feel no sympathy for the iTether guys. NO ONE was surprised they'd take it down: it's completely expected that if you violate Apple's terms you will be removed. Period. On another note: GVoice and Opera are there. Honestly, they're crap. I'd also note to all of the conspiracy theorists, Apple doesn't care if you use Opera, and the make no $$ off of using the phone app – they let in crap, but crap that makes an effort to follow the rules.

However, parent was talking about Opera Mobile, which isn't available in the App Store. [1] http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/productspecs/ http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/productspecs/
