Did you check the other links? They completely back up my claims. As did the first one that seems to have gotten a burr under your saddle.
Opera isn’t a ‘browser’ in the traditional sense, in that everything that is rendered is first rendered on Opera’s own servers, then sent down as, essentially, animated GIFs to show on your phone. It’s not a traditional browser at all, but more akin to the older Skyfire browser that was the rage on WinMo about 3 years ago.
So, I still stand by my statement. There aren’t really alternate browsers available on the iPhone. Sure, you can fake one via Opera, but as far as an actual browser? It’s skins or extensions to Safari, only.
Do you know of an actual browser that renders HTML on the iPhone that does NOT use the built-in WebKit and Safari engine? If so, I’ll gladly acknowledge it and recant my claim. Otherwise, my claim stands as is, your statements to the contrary notwithstanding.
Oh, and about owning the products? I suppose you own an Android device as well?
No, I don't own an Android phone, nor, as you've said before, do you, being a WinMob user. But I DO own the devices you continually criticize, the iPhone and the iPad.
Opera isn’t a ‘browser’...
Now, you've decided that the Opera browser reallly ISN'T a browser, evidently because it spoils your claim that Apple doesn't allow non-Webkit browsers on the iOS devices and since it obviously IS on there, it must NOT be a browser. Impeccable logic! Typical.
Sorry, you don't get to define what is or is not a browser merely because it "works different" and doesn't use WebKit. By that leap of illogic you can define away ANY non-Webkit browser on the iPhone you care to. It waddles, it has feathers, it quacks: it's a duck. You may want to claim it's an aardvark, but it's still a duck. How it accomplishes its duckness is irrelevant to the fact that it's a duck.
