Fantastic! Now we can skip the iPhone store all together since we can make webapps just as powerful as downloaded ones.

From what I understand that's not what this is. Unless they are going to have an app of their own that is going to try to replace Safari on all iPhones.

It sounds like a native app where you have a UIWebView with special access to native data via javascript.

In either case I love the idea. I've been thinking of something like this for some time, except in a more general form.

Not quite, the webapp needs to be put inside a native application in order to use these javascript apis.
