 The iPhone was a little less exciting when Apple revealed that web apps were the only way developers could write applications for the iPhone.  While committed folks eventually opened the phone up for third-party applications, some interesting stuff was happening on the web application front.  It&#8217;s called iUI.
</p>
<p>
 <a href="http://www.joehewitt.com/iui/">iUI</a> is a JavaScript framework to make coding pages for the iPhone really easy.  Joe Hewitt&#8217;s (of FireFox, FireBug, and FaceBook fame) small JavaScript library can transform simple lists and links into an experience much like a regular iPhone application.
</p>
<p>
 iUI uses many <abbr title="Cascading Style Sheets level 3">CSS3</abbr> properties with images ripped from the iPhone itself to create the distinctive interface, complete with sliding animations and <abbr title="Asynchronous JavaScript and XML">Ajax</abbr> page replacement.  He points out in a <a href="http://feeds.yuiblog.com/~r/YahooUserInterfaceBlog/~3/138694329/">Y!UI Theater video</a> that Safari Mobile lacks many events found on regular browsers due to lack of ways to input those events on a touch screen, as well as having no mechanism to access <q>flicks</q> used to scroll in native applications.
</p>
<p>
 Despite the limitations, knowing such an easy to use solution makes me want to download <a href="http://www.testiphone.com/">TestiPhone</a> and write <em>something</em> for iPhone, even though I don&#8217;t own an iPhone.  I would take <a href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/08/08/the-veterans-charge/">Eric Meyer&#8217;s concerns</a> into account, however.</p>
