Hopefully its less restricted than the usual stock quotes/weather report widgets.

According to Apple, "no software developer kit is required for the iPhone." However, the truth is that the lack of an SDK means that there won't be a killer application for the iPhone. It also means the iPhone's potential as an amazing computing and communication platform will never be realized. And because of this I don't think the iPhone will be as revolutionary as it could be. That's a real heart breaker.

So stock quotes and weather reports it is then.
I guess there will be some effort to flash Linux on there, but I don't know how successful it will be.
