Opera Mini on the iPhone!

Opera Mini, possibly the best browser for Java based mobile phones has been announced by Opera for the iPhone. While the browser is still not available for public use, it is surprising that it is there for the iPhone OS at all.

Since a while Apple has allowed for developers to create browsers for the iPhone under the condition that they use WebKit as the browser engine. Does this mean that Opera has adapted the iPhone version of the browser to use WebKit instead of their own Presto? If Opera does use its own engine, it will be forbidden from appearing on the Apple store, and will only run on Jailbroken iPhones. This is also the reason that the Mozilla Firefox browser is not available on the iPhone yet, although it will be making its way to Android soon.
