Yes, Apple is renown (?) for not liking to release developer APIs  
until they are well and truly stablised (e.g. have been through a  
couple of iterations with in-house development).

I think Web2.0 solution is there way of offering something without  
really offering something (unfair - they are offering an API - may  
just be URIs? - to integrate with native iPhone apps).

I think we'll still see third-party apps from selected organisations  
who are allowed to use early version of the SDK, and then eventually  
there will be a SDK for the iPhone.

Apple may still control what apps go on the phone but at least I  
believe there will be a SDK.

Cheers,
Ashley.
