Yes, you read it right. The iPhone SDK ist not just for Developers who want to develop native iPhone applications. It’s also for Web Developers who want to take the capabilities of the SDK to write code for their web apps. Apple did a fine work here enhancing Dashcode, the Environment for programming Dashboard Widgets on Mac OS X, with a new feature to directly build your web apps in Dashcode. In Conjunction with the iPhone Simulator you now can, preview, debug, optimize and build your web applications all in Dashcode. Apple also put online an introduction video into iTunes (note: you must have an ADC membership account) which describes new technologies like advanced JavaScript functions, native SVG support, CSS effects, offline data support, full screen mode and gesture events.
