I'm currently consulting for a client (under NDA) about some funky projects. One of the things I was shown last week was a prototype applet for the iPhone. The interesting thing was, the programming group had decided to NOT make it an "Application", but instead just write a web page that was optimised for an Ajax browser the size of, well, an iPhone. As a result of this, the app in question runs on a bunch of other platforms, from the PDAs through to the little 800x600 ASUS Linux PC thing I use for taking notes in meetings. They'd need a lot of convincing to go for native applications when the iPhone has less than 1% of the mobile phone market...
