Web apps?

Will these really have a place on the iPad?

Web apps can be useful. Not sure about using iPhone web apps on the iPad.

Re: Web apps?

Web apps are good, but I like the standard Safari more than them because it's simpler and easier to use.

The web apps they are referring to are applications that run in Safari.

Re: Web apps?

Why not use web apps on iPad? They are free and maybe with Safari you can run more that one at a time.

Re: Web apps?

How would you be able to run more than one at a time? You still need to switch windows in safari?

Yeah I don't see this happening. If anything Apple will start allowing some approved apps to run in the background.

Re: Web apps?

Webapps will absolutely have a place on the iPad. There are plenty of web application providers that have a codebase and a working system in place that can VERY easily have an iPad/iPhone interface thrown on top for iPad/iPhone users to interact with.

Often, there's no reason for these providers to build a custom app when their product functions perfectly well on the iPad w/o a standalone app.

There will be TONS of iPad webapps.

I have to agree. The larger screen plus a good Wifi connection will be just perfect for web apps.
