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.

To bad that as Apple is pushing web apps, they have killed/squandered their WebObjects technology. They (and WebObjects) should be dominating the conversation with web app development, in Enterprise IT and on their own iPhone. I’ll never understand it – they are pushing web apps but not their own web app platform. Insane.
I saw what his stupid PowerPoint presentation says.
With root access to his own Mac he broke in to the supposedly secure Leopard OS X 10.5.
Not only that, several iPhone hackers broke into OS X on their own iPhones.
Listen, securityman. Any idiot can hack their own computer. Believe it or not, they can also erase the complete contents of their own hard drive.
Go ahead, try it, we’ll wait.
web apps on the iPod touch are useless…… Unless you like only using your iPod for an hour or two.. because that’s how long the batter will last with wifi on.
Using web cache is useless too… considering how often Safari crashes.
Last night I’m at dinner with my wife when the waiter notices my iPhone and asks if I like it. “Of course!” says I, as I begin to launch into the requisite table-side demo. Then says the waiter, “oh, I have one too!” and proceeds to produce his iPhone, absolutely LOADED with third-party software. Well, you can imagine our surprise.
I try to politely explain to our waiter that Apple does not officially support these on that. — He looks at me quizically. “What do you mean?” says he, “I’ve got them all right here!”
After checking to see he is running pre 1.1.1 version software, I give him the “fair-warning” speech about how if he runs the system updater, all his third party software will be summarily wiped clean.
Then today, Apple web apps are announced. I guess I need to go back to the waiter and let him know, unless he’s already heard.
The kicker is this: he’s a college kid who only uses Dell computers, yet he has a Mac in his pocket. Talk about a Trojan Horse loosed on the unsuspecting public!
iPhone is absolutely poised to become the biggest game changer in recent tech history.
Everything, and more, is proceeding according to plan.
HAZZAH!!
I worry that Apple will miss this golden opportunity to have the iPhone absolutely take over the smart phone space by its refusal to allow third party apps on the iPhone. While I understand keeping the iPhone’s system secure to avoid crashes, etc., this harkens back to the dark ages of Apple when it was very difficult for developers to write software for the Mac because Apple wouldn’t provide good APIs, insisted on different ports unique to the Mac, etc.
If there’s one thing that history has shown in computers and devices – the best ones don’t always win. The most flexible device usually wins, mainly because it can do most things pretty well even though it doesn’t do anything particularly great.
The iPhone has the chance to be the phone which does many things very well/great, but adoption will be hindered or people will look in another direction if they can’t get certain features they want.
For example, some people want/need to be able to edit Word/Excel files on their mobile devices (though I don’t understand why). If the iPhone continues to be unable to do this (which is striclty due to Apple’s refusal to allow this functionality), those people will buy something else. And that’s lost opportunity for Apple.

Because the future of these web APPS does not only focus on iPHONE.
It’s also for iPodTouch and future devices like Apples MacSlate.
Apple done it right!

What about “cut and pasting”. Can’t Ap-ple take care of first things first?
