Bookmark it now - it doesn't work yet but it will very soon. Apple will be unleashing this new webpage devoted to Webapps. Apple's web team is gearing up to put the iPhone applications built with he Web 2.0 "SDK" on their new software page that will function in the same way as the current software downloads.

Thanks to a commenter, we found a few webapps in Apple's "recent downloads RSS feed". However, when you click on the link the feed provides to you, you end up at a unused page at Apple...at least unused for the moment - http://www.apple.com/webapps/

This isn't huge news as we've known about Web Applications since the iPhone was announced. However, it is a big deal to have a one stop shop for all of the iPhone/iPod touch applications. We expect it to be like a web 2.0 version of Installer.app.

So, look for Apple to start a /webapps software "downloads" page built specifically for the iPhone /iPodtouch- and perhaps even for full blown Safari.

To see what we are yapping about, click here. Search within the fields for "iPhone". You should get a few hits but all of the links are broken. Thanks again to our eagle-eyed readers for the tip!

Yep I can verify I get iPhone applications that go to the /webapps directory - which doesn't exist.

Now watch the other sites echo this and claim it as their own
