The bigger implication here is that the iPhone runs on a version of 
OS X. That means that there's the possibility of us creating Apps for 
the iPhone via Revolution. You don't even need Widgets.

Phone apps are one category, but there's also the internet enabled 
iPhone apps which is where Rev apps on the Mac desktop excelled in 
previously. Couple that with database iPhone apps which are connected 
over the internet via either Wi-Fi or EDGE and things get exciting - 
think of even corporate apps or apps that previously required a PDA 
with wireless comms that can now be replaced by Rev apps running on 
the iPhone using a finger gesture user interface.

Also it would seem from the way Safari is running on the iPhone that 
there is some resolution independence.

While we don't know what processor the iPhone is running on, it's 
probably not an Intel chip, so that means a different binary for the 
app.

It would be nice to ultimately have a way to build Rev apps on this 
device. It would sure be much easier compared to developing apps for 
the Palm.
