Coming soon: Mozilla for iPhone

John Lily, the CEO of Mozilla, during an interview said that the company is working to develop an application for iPhone, although he preferred not to release further details.

Mozilla will release an app to the iPhone app store in the next few weeks, it’ll surprise people.

The new browser for the Apple phone would have to be issued in the coming weeks, although it is doubtful that Apple will insert in the App Store an alternative and equivalent to the native browser Safari. In fact in the company’s guidelines is clearly prohibited the duplication of core functions of the iPhone.

At the same time there are those who do not exclude the possibility that this application will be approved, as Apple did begin to approve third-party applications earlier this year. And that could open the door for the Weave service, as well.

Mozilla Wave is essentially a way for Firefox users to upload their personal browser preferences to Mozilla’s servers and then be Able to Access them from Firefox on from any computer or device.
