Via InformationWeek -
As Apple prepares to release its much-anticipated iPhone software development kit (SDK), expected in February, developers are already hard at work cobbling together Web-based applications for the smartphone without Apple's help.
While the SDK is sure to launch a wave of hype in the press, the real story about how iPhone apps are being developed is much more nuanced. To get the scoop, we talked with Andrew Reuter, a lead developer at Journyx Inc. The Austin, Texas-based developer of Web-based time- and expense-tracking solutions is getting is getting ready to release its own set of iPhone libraries for Web developers.

In addition, PopCap Games introduced a Web-based version of a game called Bejeweled for Apple's iPhone.
Have you played the Ajax version of Bejeweled? Bleh. It's interesting, to me, to see people clammoring for this SDK at the same time as people (presumably different people) preach the death of the desktop and doing everything "in the cloud."
