Erm, there's tons of alternate browsers. There just can't be one with it's own JavaScript parser baked in because of the ban on interpreters, and even then they said you can ask to include one in the latest round of SDK revisions.
Is there an alternative browser that does not use WebView, which handles all the html for you?? Apart from Opera of course, which is more an image viewer.
I don't think there is. There is a lot of stuff you can do with UIWebView, which is what all those other apps are doing, like blocking ads, adding tabs, storing stuff offline.
You are a fool. They banned it in the beginning, then they stopped banning it. All the webbrowsers use iPhones UIWebView.
You are just repeating the first thing you see, rather than doing any research into the matter. There is loads of information out there about problems with Apple banning stuff, if anyone cares enough to actually look.
There haven't been any yet that I can recall, but they have cannibalized popular third-party Mac apps before — try searching for Watson or Konfabulator. And their rejection of that picture frame app seemed to be on the basis that it trod on ground they wanted to cover themselves.
You don't. His apps were developed and in the store before he was hired, Apple's policy doesn't seem to allow their own employees to develop appstore apps in their spare time, and only allows them to have stuff in the appstore (in their name) if that stuff was there before they got hired.
