Yes there is because you can't implement your own browser engine on iOS. Browsers are just shells for the safari engine on iPhones.

I've heard mixed reports on this - the big issue is technical in that you can't implement your own JIT Javascript engine, because only JavaScriptCore (running out-of-process) can write executable pages.

The big issue is that the app store rules forbid it.

> 2.5.6 Apps that browse the web must use the appropriate WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript.

Where did you get the impression I was suggesting implementing your own browser engine?

The whole point of the discussion surrounds what is possible in web views, not implementing your own browser engine.
