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.

That's certainly how I understood it, apps as war-files you can download and install locally. If it is installed on the device itself you could provide a REST interface to internal data on the localhost.
Edit : example getting localhost://contacts/name/Tyr would return an xml or json with all relevant information. Probably easier for new programmers to pick up ecmascript + html than learning a new API and one of the traditional languages.
