Looking at AppWhirl, it is slightly more then a glorified RSS reader. You can make a template (choose text and background colors as well as the background image) for your site and throw in tweets as well. No, its nothing complicated. Yes, it can generate apps from a template. No, it is not just an RSS reader for a single site. TechCrunch even spoke about this: http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/07/apple-cookie-cutter-apps http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/07/apple-cookie-cutter-apps . Two weeks ago is a far cry from NOW, as in TODAY and YESTERDAY. And it could be argued that it is different from the type of applications that the link you pasted mentions; twitter integration, maybe more options for the template as well? I never looked at the "old" way of generating apps. And in the TechCrunch article, it does seem to imply that templates are OK, as long as they do more than simply RSS.
