What exactly is an iPhone app? Think back in time–way back. Let’s go back to when this site was started in July of 2006 or when I took it over a few months later. This was a time before there was Jailbreak or the much-hyped iPhone carrier hack. There were no iPhone applications in the truest sense except for what Apple threw on there. The “applications” people built were essentially specialized sites built to work with the iPhone and have the look and feel of a traditional non-web application. Now that the first thing people do when they get their iPhone is Jailbreak it, you can now actually write full-blown apps for it. Most of these reviews are based on user submissions and if people would submit these stand-alone apps I’d be happy to review them.

I just wanted to hit that topic since I got a comment about it (and the commenter was totally right in asserting these were not true “apps”).
