No crossover between Windows and iPhone
I don't know why people are saying that now there'll be apps that work on both Windows and iPhone, because of Safari, when we haven't seen that much other mobile development.

Developers aren't going to make 320 pixel wide web apps that look good on iPhone, and iPhone apps which use a plugin to access dialers etc won't work on Windows.

As well, a large and active web page is going to be a lot more difficult to use on iPhone than has been demo'd. Try this: drop your current browser window down to a nice small size, perhaps a quarter of your full screen. Now try using it that way all day for your bank account, blogging, etc. Even with zooming, it's gonna to be painful on the iPhone at times.
