Developers diss iPhone Web 2.0 Web Apps

John Gruber didn't mince words over the announcement that developers who'd like to run apps on the iPhone could use Web 2.0 to create web apps.

"If all you have to offer is a shit sandwich, just say it. Don’t tell us how lucky we are and that it’s going to taste delicious."

And thats the way many developers feel after Steve Jobs made his "sweet" announcement at WWDC '07 regarding Apple's intention of allowing programmers to develop web apps for the iPhone.

Even though Apple (AAPL) will have a full version of Safari, other phones already have Opera-mini and other optimized browsers running on them, so we feel that Apple will need to offer more than just "make a webpage for iPhone".

If you're a developer, what do you think about this?
