I've never heard that web apps require approval. Probably a typo? Also, it would be nearly impossible to "crash the whole iphone OS." An app runs in a sandbox, the worst thing it could crash is itself.

No typo, timburks.

Before the app store debut around July 2007, web apps was the only way to develop for the iphone.

With Webapps, Apple simply place your application on their http://www.apple.com/webapps page and gives you a chance to promote yourself.

Apple does not seem to promote those web apps as much as they should.
