Apple iPhone Web apps directory
Posted on Oct 10, 07 09:24 AM PDT

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?

When will apple 'get it'. Web 2.0 apps suck. They are slow... most require a server which means no use on an airplane etc (e.g., server based aps).
Get the stick out of your ass Steve... EVERY OTHER SMARTPHONE ON THE PLANET has 3rd party native aps. Your "it could break the network" is so full of baloney it isn't funny.
I bought it... I want to mod it. Quit throwing hissy fits and bricking my phones because *you* don't like it. Otherwise YOU buy all the iPhones then.
