I was reading Ajaxian this morning.  They had published a link to a post titled In defense of Ajax for the iPhone.  It’s a good read so check it out first.

I basically don’t understand the need for a “real SDK”  for the iPhone.  I am attempting, through comments here and at the Ajaxian post, to get someone to provide real concrete, well thought out reasons that an SDK is necessary and how it would be better than developing AJAX applications for the iPhone.  I think two very well put together examples of iPhone apps can be found here.
