Apple is extending an olive branch — albeit dipped in stinky, runny, rancid cheese — by creating a website full of web apps for use on the iPhone. Now remember — web apps suck, especially the ones that are ostensibly offering IM access. Like Adam and Steve in the Garden of Eatin’, once you’ve tried the sweet, sweet taste of a native, localized compiled application, you can never go back. And, like God, Apple kicks you out of the Garden if you even look at gcc and the toolchain.

The app page includes a list of programs including Solitaire and Blackjack and let you search for apps like the widget search we’ve all kind of forgotten about. It is also now completely gone.
