You're right. It did strike me as being a bit strange when the press release talked about "Web 2.0" applications and my through were, "maybe the whole UI is one big web app". I should have spent more time digging a bit, but I'm not really a Mac man and have only seen the glossy brochure for the iPhone. Thanks for pointing at Gruber's article. When seen in that light, the press release does sound really condescending and I'm sure Apple can expect a massive backlash from the announcement. btw, it's nice to meet another blogger in the Isle of Man. Adding you to my blogroll ;) @Steph: Thanks for your comment.

After Apple announced that the iPhone would run OS X every Mac developer out there got excited at the possibilities, but instead of a proper API and supporting framework they went and announced this. Not happy! See Gruber's take on the WWDC keynote here, he captures the consensus pretty well: http://daringfireball.net/2007/06/wwdc_2007_keynote Unfortunately the iPhone’s “API” is a bit of a misnomer: basically they’re saying you can run web apps on it through Safari, which was already pretty obvious and a massive disappointment.
