CEO John Lilly has announced that Mozilla will release an iPhone app to the App Store in the next few weeks. Lily revealed this information to GigaOM during an interview at the annual confab organized by students of the Haas School of Business at Berkeley.

“Mozilla will release an app to the iPhone app store in the next few weeks,” Lilly said. “It’ll surprise people.”

When asked if Weave was going to be part of the new iPhone app Lily and Jay Sullivan, Mozilla’s VP of Mobile just smiled and remained silent.

Weave is an in-development add-on for Mozilla Firefox. Its purpose is to push metadata out onto the cloud. One use is to allow users to synchronize bookmarks and browsing history across multiple computers, as demonstrated by the Weave Sync component. [W]

Apple has traditional rejected any application which could duplicate or mimic the functionality of current or future Apple apps. It may be difficult for Mozilla to get their app approved.

It was just yesterday that Apple announced they would allow free apps to enable in-app purchases, and developers are already jumping on the “get the app for free, buy the content later” business model as quickly as they can. ngmoco came out swinging, as Touch Arcade reports, with both a free intro version of Rolando 2 out for purchase, with later chapters of the game as add-ons. They’ve also been working on a shooter called Eliminate, and we’re now told that title will be free as well, with extra content to buy later.

The creators of Urban Rivals, an app that is based on a virtual trading card game, have let us know that they too plan to go the free-with-microtransactions model as soon as their app is released, and Read more…

This passed Tuesday Gist released an application for the iPhone that brings many of the site’s big features to user’s small pockets. The free app is meant to compliment Gist.com’s people-analyzing and organizing tools, letting users get an alert on upcoming meetings as well as background information on those who they’re meeting with. This includes how important the user’s contacts are, as determined by Gist’s algorithms.

Where users will spend most of their time though is the app’s dashboard, which breaks down the latest news about people and companies they’re corresponding with based on news stories, blog posts, and tweets. This screen doubles as a Read more…

This comes as no surprise: Apple has rejected an iPhone app submitted by SomeEcards, a website that hosts egregiously satiric e-cards.

In its rejection letter, Apple said it could not accept the SomeEcards app because it “contains objectionable content and content that ridicules public figures.”

What’s actually surprising is that the screenshots Apple attached with the rejection letter, pointing out which content was objectionable, were all related to poking fun at famous people, including Adolf Hitler.
