Arguably iOS was originally intended and designed to run HTML5 web apps without intermediation. Web tech based applets downloadable and runnable from a home screen, similar to Palm Pre and WebOS.

Jobs really intended for Apple-only Native Apps, one of which was a Safari, that allowed third party services via webpages > similar to Palm Pre and WebOS. not quite. webOS was more than 'tech based applets'. webOS tried to leverage HTML and CSS as the programming language for native apps much like Android leveraged Java. It was not the same philosophy as iPhone OS 1.0
