For this reason it should be cached locally from that point on so the application will run if referenced from the bookmark even if...

I read the tutorials for web applications and the special rules you can put into style sheets. Are folks finding they can just tweak their style sheets to serve up content to iPhones or do they deliver custom iPhone specific pages? would you bother with this if you were going to create a specific page anyway for mobile users ? (even if ...
I recently did the Chris Coyier tutorial from the css-tricks.com weblog #38: Basics & Tips on Designing for the iPhone. Needless to say I got very excited and suggested to a guy that I do some code monkey work for that we could now offer iPhone websites to his clients. He said cool, but what about other mobile devices? good question. So ...

Hi, I've written an iPhone app and only tested it with the simulator as I don't have an actual iPhone. If I Build and Go, I can see the app running. But if I go to Finder and then open it through the project's build folder, it just crashes immediately. Does anyone know the reason for this? ...

Using the code from the SeismicXML example doesn't seem to work and the Reachability example code from Apple seems like overkill for the app... Is there a quick and easy way to deter...
