Wired wrote a story in March about how the public SDK terms would prevent Firefox and Opera specifically from being allowed on the iPhone... You are correct on the SDK terms, I had completely forgotten about that. IIRC, Opera would be considered an emulator since it allow you to run Javascript, yes? ...and the story about Apple declining "competing" applications is months old too. Which is exactly why I said it's no surprise that Opera was turned down, although there is obviously much more to the story. I'm sorry for ribbing you for wanting to work on Android; I'm just being snarky... No need to apologize, I hadn't taken any offense. ...although I really don't share your politics. I assume that by "politics" you mean my feelings towards openness, choice, and F/OSS (since we seem to have similar feelings towards US politics, but I digress). All I'm saying is that options are good. Apple limits your options with the iPhone, so I'm looking forward to getting an Android phone in the future.
