No Opera Browser for Apple’s iPhone?

Well this is interesting… Recently my source have posted an interesting article based on a famous newspaper the NYTimes. They said that Opera Software have succeeded in making Opera Mini Browser that can run on the iPhone, yet the iPhone’s manufacturer Apple have blocked them. The reason behind this act is because the Apple decided to protect its Safari -their built in web browser- from Opera. Here’s the quote:
Mr. von Tetzchner said that Opera’s engineers have developed a version of Opera Mini that can run on an Apple iPhone, but Apple won’t let the company release it because it competes with Apple’s own Safari browser.
This could be something to do with the Javascript interpreter, or Apple restricting applications which compete with their built in iPhone applications such as Safari. With Apple restricting apps, especially alternative browsers, iPhoner will probably not be seeing an alternative such as FireFox anywhere on the Apple App Store very soon.
