Yeah the original plan for iPhone apps was they were all supposed to be web-apps saved to the home screen. No App Store. IIRC they even had a basic web SDK to make some standard-looking iOS views? Developers jailbroke the iPhone and reversed the APIs and made some really compelling demo apps and Apple had to rush to make an official SDK.
