Apple today officially launched its Web-apps for iPhone website which lists over 200 third-party Web-based applications for the device.
“Apple has categorized the listing by Most Recent, Most Popular, Alphabetical and Staff Picks. Currently, the most popular programs are the Facebook app, Bejeweled, Sudoku, and a Twitter app called Hahlo,” MacNN reports.

Notice that the website is at apple.com/webapps not apple.com/iphone/webapps . I think iphone may be a trojan horse for webapps on the desktop, which certainly explains why the need for safari on windows. Perhaps the market for Desktop software isnt dead after all.

Hey – you’re not allowed to post insightful comments on the first post around here. Let’s try to get with the program dude.
Apple, “web apps” don’t count. We want the iPhone as a platform, not a client.
If coding to a browser is the thing, why isn’t everyone doing it for Explorer? (Fscked-up HTML that only works on Explorer doesn’t count)
So , do you use up paid minutes to use these web apps?
MDN: this website is for iPod Touch too! That should be in your headline!
Dude, where is the “First”? WHERE IS IT????? I NEED MY FIRST, FIRST THING! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MDWord: indeed
He is insightful and first. wow.
I agree with our first poster– web apps are a trojan horse of sorts. Hence the 10GB upgrade to .Mac. It’s more than an overdue appeasement. Given iPod’s and iPhone’s transition to web almost everywhere, I think Apple’s setting the stage for another paradigm shift. Apple wants to own the cloud. This makes sense for Safari on Windows, too.
I also agree with the other posters. An insightful first post is a tad hard to take somehow. nycnikato, could you please revel in pubescent glory somehow to take the edge off your words? Maybe a rage against some sort of established norm? political vitriol? Anything, really…
It’s only polite.
MW “expect,” As in “Expect less from a first post.”
WOW SHOCK AND AWE!
The new apple web apps is AMAZING OMG! I am soo happy excited! Now I can do exacly what I have been doing from day one! “I-DAY” Ignore us day! WOOT! Thanks apple for making us a web link! WOW!
Thank for not charging us for it too! lol
Meh. It’ll be news if they ever open up the iPhone to native apps, not crummy web apps that don’t work whenever you are away from WiFi hotspots.
MDN word: Perform, as in in web apps don’t.
Okay children, quit griping about no third party apps for your iPhones.
I’m sure there are many more to come!
Does any of these apps have sound? What about the games, are they all soundless?
Web Apps Suck! Give us a legitimate iPhone SDK Apple! Quit trying to bullshit your customers with these bogus browser based apps that run only slightly slower than molasses.
WAAAAAAAA
good thing the vast majority who will buy this phone don’t care about this third party shite
Hey Ron,
Do you use up paid minutes when you surf the web on your iPhone?
@ron
To answer your question more directly: The iPhone AT&T;plan comes with unlimited Edge internet connections. Time on web apps do not utilize cell call minutes.
Thank God!
Now will all these freak’n people shut up about hacking the phones and crying for webapp’s. Apple had a plan, everyone just needs to calm down and now rejoice.
Thank you Apple!
Web apps were a lousy idea when Steve announced them in January, and they haven’t gotten any better. Hopefully native apps will come soon.
These apps work great with Wi-Fi on the iPod touch! I created a separate bookmarks bar folder just for all the ones I added. ESPN podcasts, weather and some games. The best is Yeah.No.Totally which can be used as a sort of start page for the iPod touch (or iPhone) browser.
This is a farce. Tried several … slow, buggy, useless. Apple needs to get their head out of their ass and open up the root for real apps.
about a year ago, all the blogs were saying how web apps would be the future. Now a company has taken a step towards that, everybody is bitchin’ about it haha
The existing “apps” that are already on the iPhone (clock, calculator, stock, weather etc.) are so akin to Widgets, you’d think that there would be an easy transition from Apple MAC widgets to Apple iPhone “apps” (if you want to call them that). There are quite a few Widgets I’d love to have access to on my iPhone, any speculation (or enlightened insight) as to the possibility of this happening (or not) anytime in the future?
To add, AppleMatters addressed the whole “lock-out” issue in regards to the brick (aka, ZUNE) and how M$ is taking the entire opposite direction and approach. The writer of the article leads with… Why The Zune Will Outdo The iPod. Not that I agree, but an interesting read.
I want a web app that lets me cut and paste!!!
