Instead, they'll rely on us going to write web applications. Which they didn't! Why claim it's 'full Mac OS X' if it can't even run a third-party application? Indeed - íf they’d open it.

It looks to me that Apple was never planning on allowing developers to make apps for the iPhone but sense all the developers wanted to, Apple though up a quick solution. There thinking was sense the iPhone already has a web browser build in why don't we tell the developers that they can make applications for the iPhone though the web browser. But is that what we really want? There is just so much that you can do with AJAX and if they would open up the iPhone to developers it would be the greatest phone ever made.

I would have been more than slightly ticked had I purchased that, and not attended WWDC. Next up - Xcode for Windows? Kind of happy I didn’t purchase the Leopard Early Start Kit.

Did you know that it renders pages 0.042 seconds faster than FireFox? It can even display webpages in tabs and it can bookmark your favorite sites. But how are they going to distribute such an amazingly new product to Windows users? Why, they'll do what ever other company does - give it away free on the tubes! Steve Jobs is amazing! Who else can think of such a creative distribution strategy that lets users download a FREE web browser that lets you visit your favorite websites and render pages 0.042 seconds faster than FireFox! If you used Safari all day long, you would save AT LEAST 3 seconds/day on web surfing. Apple rules! You forgot about Safari on Windows though!
