Opera CEO: Happy to create a browser for the iPhone

According to foreign media reports, at the GSMA Mobile World Conference held in Barcelona, Spain, Jon von Tetzchner, co-founder and CEO of Opera, a well-known Norwegian browser developer, said, for now, Opera has not completely abandoned its plan to develop a browser for Apple's iPhone smartphone.

At this GSMA Mobile World Conference, Opera presented a network browsing accelerator product named "Opera Turbo. In an interview with the outside world on Wednesday, taizina did not focus on Turbo products, we talked about the WebOS developed by iPhone and Palm, and the "strange relationship" between T-Mobile and Opera in the United States, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.

If Apple is willing, Opera can customize a browser for the iPhone, taizina said. But for now, Apple does not seem to allow external developers to provide alternative browsers in its iPhone software development kit (SDK) license. "Despite this, we have not completely abandoned our browser development plan for the iPhone, and we are still thinking about this," taizina said ."

Speaking of the new WebOS mobile operating system developed by the U.S. smartphone maker Palm for its Palm Pre mobile phone, taizina said that since the WebOS platform was just released, it is still not familiar with its performance, if it turns out that the WebOS platform has broad market prospects, Opera will also develop a Opera Mini browser for the platform.
