Weekly media coverage

October 31, 2008 · by Espen André Øverdahl

One of the most popular stories in the media this week resulted from an interview Jon S. von Tetzchner did with the New York Times. You can read the article (with great reader comments) here. This article has spurred many readers to discuss the possibility of browsing with Opera instead of Safari on the iPhone.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Opera Mini was never rejected by Apple; http://daringfireball.net/2008/11/opera_app_store ... Opera has never submitted Opera Mini to Apples App Store.

Apple might reject Opera Mini, but it has never happened.

@TriMN: wow, some random blog with convenient "anonymous sources"! Amazing.

How exactly do you know what Apple and Opera have done? Do you really think that the App Store is the only way to contact Apple?

Sorry, I'm feeding trolls....

@GoJoeGo: He he, well. It was mentioned that Opera Mini was _rejected_ from the App Store. That's not the case. Because Opera never submited it to App Store. And of course I don't think App Store is the only way to contact Apple. I was just on the phone with an Apple Technician about replacing some old mac parts

Anyways, you can read the latest post in Choose Opera blog about the clarification http://my.opera.com/chooseopera/blog/2008/11/04/clarification-in-bits
