Apple's decision to allow only Web-based applications on the iPhone is considered its biggest limitation. But some app developers argue that the Web browser is the iPhone's biggest strength and could make it a smartphone of choice in business.

Information Builders, a provider of business intelligence and Web-reporting software, is one of the first to offer a mobile analytics tool that lets businesses interact with data on a smartphone, similar to the way they would on a desktop. The company's WebFocus Active Reports software can be accessed through a Web browser on any smartphone.
