Web Worker Apps for the iPhone

March 7th, 2008 (8:00am) Mike Gunderloy 2 CommentsTweet This

The ink was barely dry on yesterday’s announcement of the new iPhone SDK before I started seeing announcements from developers that they’d be porting their applications to the newly-opening platform. Among applications of interest to web workers, at least Twitterific, OmniFocus, TypePad and Adium have announced their intent to produce native iPhone versions – and I haven’t made an exhaustive survey.

Of course, now that we know the SDK is out there in the wild, we can indulge in uncontrolled dreaming. If you’ve already got your iPhone, which applications are you hoping to see ported to do your work? If you don’t, which ones would tempt you to plunk down the money?

I can’t wait, I think this is going to open up a whole new world of apps for a mobile device. Just by looking at the keynote I can’t wait for some nice opengl games. I want Google Cal sync with the iPhone call too.

Definitely Freshbooks, Basecamp, and WordPress…if they don’t already support iPhone.
