using web view in iphone

Question

hey,
this might sound silly but since i am new to iPhone i wanted to ask this question... :P Where is the UIWebView best used? I mean which type of application?
Could i use that if i wanted to display a video in some part of the screen rather than fullscreen which MPmediaPlayer is really good at?
Thanks :)

Answer 1

The only places I have seen UIWebView really used in a way that is right is for help pages. Developers will make this page call a FAQ page hosted on their servers so that they can change the contents frequently without going back to Apple for review.
