Support Safari!

written by natevw @ 11:31 am

There is now one less excuse for all Web developers to support Safari: Safari 3 runs on Windows. Of course, I’d much rather use it under Leopard, even if there were only two “Top Secret” OS X features (Stacks and Finder-meets-iTunes) revealed in today’s little review session.

The only economic or pragmatic motivation I can see for porting Safari to Windows is so that Microsoft denizens can still “develop for the iPhone” — using Apple’s “very sweet”, total non-solution for iPhone development. After at least 5 months of “trying to come up with a solution to expand the capabilities of the iPhone”, the best Apple could announce is what James Tauber explained 4 days after the iPhone was publicly announced?!

Addition: Instead of scare quotes, Michael Tsai uses quotes straight from the horse’s mouth to explain why developers are so disappointed with Apple’s Very Sweet Solution shenanigan…
