The way the information is made availble on the iPhone's larger tactile screen is much more intuitive than on other mobile phones, including the pricier ones.
As such, the development of applications will help the iPhone gain momentum in the mobile phone market. Savvy web developers can finally build amazing apps that will follow them wherever they go (or wherever their iPhone goes, with them).
Apple has the attention of everyone in the mobile phone industry, that's for sure!

I am sorry, I do not call these "apps". I call them web sites that fit on the iPhone's screen. The web approach is something I don't want for the iPhone, for reasons that I have explained here: http://osnews.com/story.php/18073/Editorial-The...

There is also a great way for all developers to test there apps at iPhone Test Interface
There you can just type it the address to the app and see how it looks on a iPhone.

Maybe interesting: Stats4PDA.com... a nice statistics appl. for mobile internet
@Eugenia, I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice or better if there was a REAL sdk for the iPhone, but a number of those things are actual "apps" insomuch as they are web apps. IM, whether it be web-based or not is still an app. If Google can retrofit any of their Docs/Spreadsheets or Calendar or whatnot for the iPhone, that's still an app regardless of the fact that it's on a web page. It would be nice if OS-based apps could be developed for it as well, but you shouldn't discount things just because they're online. LOTS of people are replacing desktop apps with web-based ones for a reason.

i need a solid INSTANT MESSENGER...FOR MY IPHONE...SOME ONE HELP...DAVID CANN'S DONT WORK FOR ME...MAYBE ITS JUST ME
I have an 8gb iphone: some nice added features would be voice recognition for calls, saving pictures and text (copy and paste) to the phone from the web or email, and please a voice memo recorder and video recorder. well thought out? Yes. But please, more applications and widgets!. Looking at stocks and weather becomes boring after a while. Is any of this in the works?

http://itweet.net - iPhone interface for Twitter. "View New" feature only downloads new tweets to save massive loading time over the slower EDGE network!
a search engine / directory for iPhone related applications that counts with the largest database of iPhone applications on the web (more than twice the size of the second largest list).
check it out!
HyperOffice + iPhone = ?
