Useful tips on developing with iPhone capabilities in mind.

iPhone and iPod touch allow a user to save a WebClip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen.

To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named “apple-touch-icon.png” at the root directory of your web server - similar to the “favicon.ico” for site icons.

To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a element similar to within the element of the page.

The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57×57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.

Safari will automatically composite the icon with the standard “glassy” overlay so it looks like a built-in iPhone or iPod application.

It seems the team at london-eating.co.uk have finally gotten wind of the innuendo left in the reviews of the OXO Tower Brasserie and done some manual pruning of the comments. Fortunately, some clever folks have kept copies of some of the posts.

It’s surprising how long this went undetected for. Best part of two years? Nothing like the Digg effect to get some attention!

Innuendo-filter, anyone?
