93South – Thoughts on New England Web 2.0

A bit off topic for the Boston Web 2.0 scene, but I have to admit – I love my iPhone!  Very few tech gadgets actually deliver on their  pre-launch promise but I have to give Apple respect…it rocks!  With over 1 Million iPhones sold to date, this maybe the launch that finally brings the mobile industry out of their closed architectures and into the modern web 2.0 world.

Here is a list of the best iPhone web applications that I could find organized by category. Please add comments with any apps that you think should be added and, if possible, the location of the company that is producing it.  

Note: some of these links go directly to the app which may resize your browser if you are on your MAC or PC.  Also, I stopped adding the 1-million Twitter apps that are out there.
