Relax Wayne. Yes, Cingular has Edge, but it also has UTMS (3G). I have an 8525 that is 3G. It isn't everywhere in LA but is expanding pretty quickly with the coverage. Odds are v2 or v3 of the iPhone will be UTMS. And there will be APIs for 3rd party apps. They just haven't sorted the details of security yet.
For now, v1 of the phone will be Edge (I have an Edge phone too and it is ok, just not as fast as 3G), and developers will be able to creat web apps using Ajax, and run them via Safari since it is a "real" web browser running on the phone (as opposed to the bs IE that runs on WM5).
Apple delivers, but v1 of a revolutionary hardware device always takes a couple of iterations to get really right.
