mobile safari

Filed under: Internet, Apple, iPhone

Mobile Safari on the iPhone does an amazing job displaying web pages. However, I find that in the context of viewing some web pages on the go, that this view isn't necessarily the best way to read some pages.

For example, even though the iPhone interface is awesome, I don't really want to waste time zooming and messing with a page to read the actual content.

I'd rather just load up a page, read my content, and move on.

When entering a web or e-mail address in Mobile Safari, you can now tap and hold on the <em>.com</em> button to get a pop-up with .net, .edu, and .org.

Note that you must have firmware version 2.0 for iPhone or iPod touch to make this work.

Many web sites now have pages especially formatted for the iPhone, enabled by detecting the "user agent" for the iPhone Safari browser.

You can easily visit these pages with your desktop or laptop version of Safari.
