Apple Allowing Third Party Browsers on iPhone

"Yesterday Apple began approving third party Web browsers for distribution via the iTunes App Store reports MacRumors. Previously to this sudden about-face iPhone Web browsers wanting to compete with Mobile Safari, Apple's bundled and pre-docked Web browser, were considered off limits because they "duplicated functionality" already on the iPhone."

Shown above is a new replacement browser called Incognito, which is designed to not keep history of any kind. Browse what you want, close the app, and adios history! Great for browsing "those site," if you know what I mean (wink wink). Pretty interesting that Apple's changed their stance on this one, seeing as browsers interpret code and duplicate functionality, both of which are reasons other apps have been rejected from the iTunes Store.
