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.

You bring up a good point about Meebo, that IM applications could be doable after all, but ultimately how well a low-powered ARM CPU can pull it off remains to be seen.
Also, Eugenia: So what if Flash support would mean Flash ads are possible? It would also mean that Flash apps would be possible, and that is a very exciting prospect!
