He was late to the party. Everyone by that time was trying to make applications and web development converge. Mozilla had an entire framework derived from the web.
By the year, I think this was before there was even an App Store (first generation iPhone was launched at the end of June, 2007). Jobs really believed in web apps, but the original iPhone had no power to handle them correctly, and a lot of the APIs that we have now were unthinkable at the time. I was just trying to be funny, really. :P
Jobs, whether or not he truly believed in that, gave the potential of web apps and HTML5 as the reason an App Store wasn’t needed. And definitely the reason Flash wasn’t needed.
