Apple posted on their developer website guidelines with instructions on optimising web-applications for the iPhone. "Developers can create Web 2.0 applications that look and behave just like the applications built into iPhone, and provide seamless integration with iPhone applications and services including making a phone call, sending an email, and displaying a location in Google Maps. Third-party applications created using web standards can extend iPhone's capabilities without compromising its reliability or security."

I do not agree with you. No matter what Apple says, the resolution of the screen is 320x480 and OSNews (and most sites) *are* designed for 800x600 screens. So, the mobile version (which is what it's currently been served btw) *is* the best solution to avoid zooming needlessly. You have to zoom-and-pan to use the full version of osnews and must finger-scroll ALL the time in order to read a news item. I would agree with you if our mobile version was the same as the other sites' mobile versions, but it's not. It almost a full-featured version with a real design. So, Alex, don't try to second guess me -- not at this matter anyway. After we fixed the problem as described in my blog, the current serving is the best solution.

So accept that it's a full web browser and stop serving the mobile version to iPhones. If I had an iPhone and was served a mobile version of OSNews, I would be mighty angry.
