This is not an application. It is a website formatted for the iPhone. That's your idea of bloom?

It's only a phone application when it can interface with the phone's features, such as accessing your address book, GPS abilities etc. otherwise just as the previous poster saif, it's just a browser app.

Websites can be apps these days

Yes, it's "just" an interface to a Web site. But with the latest browser technologies, Web sites can be apps -- or at least act much like them. Look at Google Docs, JumpCut, XDrive, etc.

If you put the heavy lifting of "app" part on a server somewhere and make the front-end browser-based, you can do an awful lot. That's where this architecture will lead us. I think it's great.
