Apple has revealed that it will be launching a directory of official Web 2.0-based iPhone applications, after word leaked out concerning Apple representatives who have been tracking down authors of Web-based iPhone apps and asking them to submit official screenshots, icons, web addresses and descriptions of their applications to Cupertino. Apple has apparently held these developers to an oath of secrecy while taking the hush-hush but tried route of having developers submit their Dashboard widgets to Apple's very own Dashboard downloads directory. Guess third party application development is still frowned upon by Apple as they do not want their iPhone platform to end up as unstable due to a deluge of third party apps (because nobody else can make stable software.. hum). Apple, what about making it easier for people to uninstall software and reset the phone to it's default state?
