Apple Launches WebApps Directory
Apple has launched a directory of web-based applications designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch at http://www.apple.com/webapps/.
Applications are divided into a number of categories, including Calculate, Entertainment, Games, News, Productivity, Search Tools, Social Networking, Sports, Travel, Utilities, and Weather. Developers are invited to submit their own applications for inclusion in the directory.
Despite rumors of expanding application development options from Apple, the launch of this directory appears to underscore Apple's commitment to web-based applications.

the launch of this directory appears to unscore Apple's commitment to web-based applications.
Unscore? Underscore maybe?

oh well. I'm going to hang on to some hope that Leopard will expose the ability for more sophisticated apps, and those that are proficient with HTML/jQuery/etc can just go on down this "you gotta be connected to the internet" path.
edit: not even a special version for the iPhone. Has to be the "full" apple page, though I guess that's what they've been promoting.
edit2: the Weatherbug app is an excellent example of a "webapp". Maybe better than WeatherUnderground's??

Wish it was more iPhone friendly. And the RSS feed doesn't open the actual apps when you click on one.

Apple seems to have left off the Instant Messaging apps deliberately, I wonder if their contract with AT&T prohibits the iPhone from having an IM app? Otherwise we'd have iChat by now, since it's a fairly easy app to code...
I hope I'm wrong.
