Hi,
I guess ur right when you said that Wen services is the future..

Im an iphone developer looking for some help in web services, while doing that I came across your blog and did read it..

I was wondering whether I can find a resource to know about web services used on iphone and may be with an example or two.

I know I can find it by googling but all of the results show the same thing..
I wanted to know more…
Im working on it these days.. may be i can post it on my blog if I’m able to do it.

anyways cheers…

I just want to confirm that your 320×360 usuable area for iphone seems to be correct.

I set up a test here http://www.mm-sf.com/test.html

Those white lines are every 50 pixels. On my iphone it cuts offs just after 350.

thanks for your help.

You guys should try out AppMarks.com which is an iPhone compliant dashboard page that mimics your main dashboard but allows you to customize the buttons / features that you like most and already defaults with a ton of useful tools that you dont need to bookmark on Safari manually. You can also add any arbitrary button with your own url and title.

I’ll be putting up more useful stuff at my blog soon that I’ve been waiting to blog about.

Ahhh iPhone heaven.

There’s a nice emulation tool called “iPhoney” at

Exact pixel match of the iPhone screen.

Yeah, I’m still trying to find out what the usable area dimensions are, too. I know the screen is 320 by 480 (or 480 by 320), but that doesn’t take into account the nav buttons at the bottom and the address bar.

When I crop down a screen shot of iPhoney, it looks like you’re left with 320 by 360 (portrait) or 480 by 200 (landscape) but that may not be pixel perfect since they have to use normal scroll bars that the phone won’t have. But, it should be close enough.

well It took me half an hour to get my iphone. I never expected that it will take a long time to activate your iphone through AT&T. I haqve been trying to activate it since 7:30 last night with no luck. I thing apple made a mistake by going with just one carrier.

what kind of details are you looking for? I believe if it’s HTML and it renders in Safari.. it’ll render in the iPhone.. the touch scroll thing is all part of the iphone UI.

o.k. there is no DevKit for the iPhone, but where can I get informations about the usable space for an iphone safari application? Are there any downloadable icons/button sets that mach the iphone gui?
