iPhone To Support 3rd-Party Development Via Web 2.0

True to its word, Apple has announced that the iPhone will be open to third party development. This was in light of Steve Jobs's discussion regarding their new operating system, Leopard.

Jobs also demonstrated the company's iPhone, the much-hyped combination cell phone, iPod digital music player and Internet device. He also said developers could create applications for the iPhone by using Web 2.0 standards.
That development is a major one for Apple. It signals the company's willingness to allow the phone to use third-party applications.

The company also said applications using Web 2.0 standards would also be able to extend iPhone's capabilities without compromising its reliability or security.

This gives everyone more opportunities to jump into the iPhone bandwagon, which seems exactly what Apple is gunning for. Sure, they may not be as open as they could be with the hardware, but I have this hunch that a lot of third-party developers are thinking "we'll take what we can get" right now.
