The iPhone is one of the most revolutionary mobile devices produced to date.  With its growing user base it is quickly become a prime target for consumer and corporate applications.  In the third quarter of 2008 Apple had an estimated 6 million 2G iPhone in the market.  When they shipped the 3G iPhone, AT&T activated 2.4 million of them in Q3 2008 alone, and 40% of those were new customers.

Although the overall installed base of iPhones is a small percentage of the overall global cell market, the iPhone provides a unique market to target.  It is a growing market, and provides some of the most advanced application capabilities in a mobile device.

There are several ways to develop for the iPhone, from making a web site that is simply iPhone aware, to creating an application for installation on the iPhone itself.  Both of these methods have advantages and disadvantages which have to be evaluated based on the business model and target market.
