I just wish there was one standard across the board for mobile devices or that all devices that view the web (mobile or otherwise) conform to these standards so I dont have to have iexplore/firefox/safari/opera/iphone/wap versions of pages to make them look correct.
Pygar, your comment has nothing to do with the link. You're whining about lack of inclusion of 3rd party apps. This link is telling developers 1 - how to make their sites look good on an iPhone and 2 - make them aware of the hooks needed to have their sites integrate seamlessly with the iPhone.
And what the web development community doesn't want are retards who feel it's a waste of their time to design sites that look good for mobile users and desktop users alike.
Posting development guidelines is not going to get around the fact that the iPhone only uses the "watered down Internet" (though Apple's ads would have you believe otherwise), by not including Flash and the ability to install 3rd party plugins for content which Apple chooses to overlook such as WMV/WMA. Any bets on how long until there's a class action lawsuit about the blatant lies in their marketing of the iPhone?
iPhone Web Developer Tool<a class="user" href="http://www.manifestinteractive.com/iphone/">http://www.manifestinteractive.com/iphone/</a>This application allows you to use your iPhone for Web Developing. You can View Source, Find on Page, Outline Divs & Tables, etc. Similar to the Firefox Web Developer Extension. Simply drag bookmarks into the web browser that you have your iPhone or iPod Touch synced to and you're good to go. Works on any site.Let me know what you think. If you have stuff you want added just let me know.- Peter Schmalfeldt

The page says "Use well-structured and valid HTML." yet the page fails to validate. Sloppy.

ya but I don't think it will validate, even though it doesn't matter if they are in all caps. Semantics my friend, A != a.
