The Progression of Web Apps @ NLHTML5

47. The full Safari engine is inside of iPhone. 
 And so, you can write amazing Web 2.0 and Ajax apps that look exactly and behave exactly like apps on the iPhone. And these apps can integrate perfectly with iPhone services. “ — Steve Jobs, 2007
52. The fundamental problem on the iPhone is not Apple’s App Store approval policies, but the iPhone developers’ arrogant disdain for Web technologies. I reviewed the apps I have on my iPhone, and most can be released as a Web app right now. “ — Peter Paul Koch, 2009
