Third party browsers at App Store

In an attempt to improve the browsing qualities of the Apple iPhone there have been a number of applications, which offer alternative browsing apps, which have been produced, from third party developers. This all adds the value of the services provide for the iPhone.

The main third party browsers available at the moment are:

Edge Browser (Free)
Incognito ($1.99)
WebMate: Tabbed Browser ($0.99)
Shaking Web ($1.99)

While this is good for the independent developer there are also the possibilities that other browsers such as Firefox, Opera and others could also appear in the app store very soon due to changes being applied.

This is because it looks as if there is some relaxation of the rules, which govern what type of application get into the app store and how fast that happens.
