The final version will be shipping with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) but the currently released beta appears to run fine under Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
Much has been said about Apple's reluctance to allow 3rd party developers from freely releasing iPhone applications. One interesting possibility raised by Jason Snell is whether or not Apple will freely allow developers to deploy Widgets to the iPhone. A Widget essentially is a small web-based application (HTML, CSS, Javascript) and would be less likely to introduce any platform instability -- one of Steve Jobs concerns.
