Apple Opening Up Doors for Firefox and Opera

The mobile browser war has reached to new heights in the past recent months. Google, Mozilla Firefox and Nokia are redesigning their strategies with regards to the development and revamping of their web browsers for the PC as well as for mobiles. However, Apple and Microsoft were strictly focusing on their own web browsers only, i.e. Safari and Internet Explorer respectively.

But now the Apple too has decided to show a ‘green signal’ to other web browser vendors to develop their respective web applications for its most famous product, the Apple iPhone 3G. With the approval of third party web browsers, the Firefox and Opera iPhone version is most likely to hit the mobile browser markets. In fact, due to its dominance Firefox may be the first third party web browser to be seen in the App store. This may be followed by Opera, Google Chrome or even Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. But it’s only a guess as of now. The company has not announced the final beneficiaries that will be allowed to get a place in the App store.

The open source application; Mozilla Firefox is currently the biggest competitor of Microsoft Internet Explorer and disrupting the dominance the IE used to enjoy earlier. At present, Safari is the default web browser application for iPhone and may be the users get to use the Firefox’s iPhone version soon.
