OK, so I'm currently having a play around building an iPhone Web App, in which it displays an RSS feed. I have got it displaying nicely and looking good, but everytime a user clicks on the title of a story, they then get taken to the main site, which I don't want as it's not mobile optimised. The rss feed is a full rss feed, so the who...

In this time I can zoom the layer and th...

I am interested in playing HTTP live streaming data from my app. The stream (which I create) is encrypted, and a URL pointing to the AES key is included in the stream index file.
