Will apps in the app store still be web apps?

A little from column A.
A little from column B.

It all depends on the app in question mate. The likes of the ebay app, or the twitterific app, etc, will obviously need an internet connection. But there will be plenty of other apps that won’t. The games featured at the WWDC won’t need an internet connection for example.

that’s what I was hoping for. Thanks for clearing it up!

You’re welcome.

Have a look at this one. I think you might like it.

And to add to what osullivanbr wrote. I wrote a app that works just fine on a iPod Touch when it can’t get a WiFi signal. It is doable, and really easy.

@osullivanbr that app was actually one that you could get with a jailbreak. I guess it was a beta version.

oh well. That’s me installing that later. Tommorrow’s work plans are ruined. Ruined I tell yeah.

Thanks for pointing that out

There are also MMO games being released!!! 3G internet ftw

Applications installed on the iPhone that require a internet connection would be an application that either gets data from a website or service (Twitter or Ebay) or needs to upload something to the internet (any matter of a Flickr uploader).
