The release of Apple’s iPhone brings new opportunities for web sites and web apps on handheld devices, though not without its share of challenges and best practices.
Tim and Pete will look at the best examples out in the wild and share their experience creating iphone.news.com.au — one of Australia’s largest news sites, news.com.au, tailored to the iPhone.
