i wish there were less so-called iPhone apps that are basically just text and images. i have a sneaking suspicion they could have been done as web pages accessible in the built-in Safari. They would also be much faster to market, cheaper to develop, immune to Apple censorship and banning whims, more portable to other platforms, more future proof, instantly updateable, cause less store clutter/noise, allow a wider variety of payment methods, can be done with any language/tech mix you want, and, and... that's enough for now. :)
