Apple is Limiting the New Google Chrome for iOS. – (by @baekdal):

Apple wants control and force people to create native apps, and are thus limiting the performance of web apps in third party apps. There is no reason why the iPhone and iPad comes with two different rendering engines – one for Apple and one for everyone else. This is purely anti-competitor behavior that limits choice and forces people to create native apps.

I love all the great gear and software that Apple makes, but I hate the roadblocks they put on competitors, especially ones BUILDING ON THEIR PLATFORM. A better Chrome for iOS SELLS MORE iOS DEVICES. A UIWebView in a competitor’s app that’s on par with the web view in Safari SELLS MORE iOS DEVICES. Letting people compete with Apple’s built-in apps is a win for developers, users, and Apple itself.
