Web Applications

Apple has stated that iPhone will include an advanced Safari web browser.
That suggests that Safari-compatible web applications on either the Internet or
on a LAN web server can be accessed by iPhone. This looks like the first iPhone
developer opportunity.

Also, there is a WWDC session on developing web applications for iPhone.

They better be

Apple's success has historically always been dependant on third-party: Mac II with Microsoft software, Windows compatible iPod, Macs with Windows, now third-party support for the iPhone. Still can't and probably won't ever compare to the kind of support Windows Mobile 6 will get from third-parties.

Do you think Jobs knew in advance about the Broadcom / Qualcomm chip patent dispute? Could this be why there is no 3G?
