I just go with Macrumors Live and watch the real deal when it shows up in iTunes later. Oh and check my RSS including the furry one evidently.

Yeah. but if nobody uses Safari on Windows except for web developers, the amount they’ll make from Google will be pretty minimal.

Hell, I use Safari exclusively on my Mac, and even I don’t like the Windows version.

I think Gruber said it best re. Safari on Windows: Google Toolbar Ad Revenue.

Yeah, and more web-devs testing for Safari, blah blah.

Money.

I don’t know if I’m just a laid-back Apple zealot, but this guy actually doesn’t really bother me.
I tried reading some of the comments, however, but got physically ill half-way through.
For the love of Jobs please don’t ever let this forum become like that at all.
All that’s keeping me sane in this crazy, mixed-up world is my Mac and intellectual discussion.
Both are clearly rare and precious items.

So… what happened? Did the Macalope vanish into thin air?

Hey we will all wait to see what you thought of WWDC, but did you here what happened at the BLDDC?

My guess is they want to ensure a seemless experience with their future webservices (Steve sorta mentikoned this at D), hence the Windows version of Safari. I don’t see Apple making all the effort just to give “nonbelievers” a chance to use Safari.

But then again: Maybe the browser that’s built-in in iTunes is actually safari, so maybe they had their windows version lying around anyway and decided to release it as a seperate product just for the heck of it…

Well, he did mention that there was a decent level of integration with iPhone system functionality available, which until now was not a sure thing.

If I can add links to webapps on my “desktop”, and hide the browser toolbars, it should be possible to make something that looks and works reasonably like a native iPhone app. For all I know, half the default loaded apps may actually be HTML-based.

“Er, really? I would have thought Opera Mobile is on a par with Safari. And Opera’s main target nowadays is mobile and alternative browsers.”

Having used Opera Mobile on my WM5 PocketPC a few months ago, I feel compelled to laugh at this statement, and at you for making it. Thanks.

I’m not an iPhone hater…actually I’m accused of being an iPhone fanboy…but I must respond to this: “the iPhone is a WebKit handheld. that’s something that other phone makers and wannabees are going to find damned difficult to clone.”

See, the thing is, WebKit is opensource…and Nokia has been using it on their symbian handsets for about a year.

Related: WTF kind of “announcement” is it to say…if you want to develop an iphone app…um, develop a web app. That was the ONE MORE THING. WTF?
