When Steve Jobs mentioned a few weeks ago that there will be "some sort of app development" for the iPhone, everyone assumed he meant widgets. Widgets are less powerful than native applications, and depending on the underlying OS hooks offered, they can be even less powerful than J2ME apps. But when Jobs came out today to outright sell us Web 2.0 and said that "no SDK required", I felt cheated.

As I understand it, the iPhone *will* provide a way to interact with the rest of the OS, and it *won't* require you to be online all the time - you can store AJAX apps locally. Aren't Dashboard widgets AJAX in some sense?
