Web Development guidelines for iPhone
by Thibaut Allender
Apple publishes some iPhone development guidelines:
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.
You should read the whole thing, but I wanted to extract some important points:
- The iPhone doesn’t support hover or drag and drop (this is a common touch screen device limitation).
- It doesn’t (yet) support Flash.
- You’d rather put your content in columns or blocks for a better experience with the zoom feature, but the available width remains “big” for a mobile device: 980px.
