First of all, I would like to think us iPhone users have some level of intelligence and know the difference between an application and a webpage with just a bunch of links on it. I've seen these iinked webpages popping up calling themselves apps and it's pissing me off. As a developer, calling this an app is a joke. It's like me creating a search application just by making a webpage with a link to google on it, give us anxious "real" application hungry owners a break from these so-called "web apps"

You get a standing ovation for this alone.

Oh yeah and "Your A Daisy If You Do", lol.

Damn, you're smug.

The poor guy was just trying to post something helpful. No, it's definately not an app, but these stupid Web pages are about all we have right now. Personally, I found it to be a useful bookmark.

Being new here, I'm surprised at how rude some of these responses are.

it's a forum about 85% of the people on all forums are rude. It adds color

First off, welcome to the forum. I'm sure by now you've found a lot of useful information.

It is not my intent to hurt anyone's feelings, it is just my opinion which many iPhone users share. I didn't call the poster any names and by my response I hope he/she, as well as others, now understand the difference. You're right, web apps are the only thing available right now, but not all of them are stupid. I mentioned this in a previous post, that web apps have their place and when developed correctly for the iphone can be quite useful such as the remote desktop apps floating around.

Many of us on here can't wait for "real" applications to be released and we are on here to keep an eye out, anxious for anything new. So when someone posts "new iphone app" and we find out its a web page of links it's disapointing and yesterday i vented.

If you found it useful, cool. In a few steps you can do the same thing. All I'm saying is that this post and simiilar ones should be called "Nice Links Page". By the way, you're way to nice by calling him a poor guy, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in that he was trying to be helpful. You make me sound like I'm the big bully, damn I one of the good guys on here ha ha ha
