Strong webapp showing from corporate interest in the iPhone

The WWDC Keynote showcased corporate iPhone App Development partners from several Fortune 500 companies, with blockbuster demo's in the Finance and Life Science industry. Since then several of these same companies have released web apps targeted and optimized for the iPhone / iPod Touch. An initial review of these web apps by ZuCom has shown that even these apps will be something to contend with.
The iPhone OS 2.0 promises to support new CSS animation and 3D standards that are truly amazing for any web application and could potentially give cloud computing a chance. Within the enterprise the need to develop fat client applications appears to be fading... FAST.
With the added benefit of lower client costs web apps have long been the preferred method by enterprise IT managers to deliver services and products to clients. Browser limitations have stifled the development of better web apps to date but Safari and Safari Mobile are aiming to change that. There's even some talk in the WebKit community of "bundling" to enable those on other platforms to access leverage these new standards not yet supported in other browsers.
Which ever way you choose to go, WebApp or iPhone OS App, ZuCom offers guidance support and services for corporate and small business clients.
