Apple said there would, initially, be no API or framework for building applications on the device. However, Apple themselves have written rich apps on the device (including the enclosed YouTube, Calculator, Calendar, and Mapping apps, for example). Never did they mention applications in such an absolute way, either.<BR/><BR/>Also, 3rd-party developers have been able to leverage uiKit on the device to make native applications.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
