No iPhone SDK for you!

As part of the “One Last Thing” portion of his keynote this morning, Steve Jobs announced that developers wishing to create applications for the iPhone are relegated to creating Web 2.0 style web applications for use inside of the iPhone’s implementation of Safari. While Safari is supposed to be fully functional on the iPhone, including Javascript, which will allow for AJAX driven user interaction, the only access to the internal workings of the iPhone will marshalled through URLs and possibly Microformats.This begs two questions:
- Will developers be able to take advantage of any offline persistence frameworks inside of the iPhone like Google Gears?
- Can AT&T’s EDGE network handle the extra bandwidth burden that AJAX user interaction often adds?
