The built-in apps are clearly better experiences on the iPhone than going to those websites would be.

I'd like to take advantage of these if the browser supports it, but leave telephone numbers "as is" (purely static text) if the browser will not know how to handle it. I was poking around and couldn't find a way in JavaScript to determine browser support for a given scheme. Any ideas?

Will the iPhone services include access to the camera and will terminal.app be included if it is a full version of OS X like Steve says? Since most of the other services look to be just mailto: and callto: URIs and there is already some ways to access the iSight camera in Safari I’m hopeful that the services will include access to it.

On Windows CE devices, when you change the screen orientation, the browser sends a normal window resize event. This makes perfect sense. We use this in our internal web applications... depending on orientation, our menus either are at the bottom (portrait mode) or on the side (landscape mode). Regards. Just a note.

Nothing but nothing about a browser, should automatically scan through your webpage and alter the page, purely to add something the developer did not intend. A good developer should all the phone link themselves. We don't rightly know where Flash stands, but honestly, I feel strongly that developers have fallen asleep MOSTLY because of lame, crippled, browsers on mobile phones (like the Treo). Does anyone realize you can reproduce the game Wolfenstein 3D or Doom in Safari, right now, with sounds and animation, without using Flash? I mean, IE has really blinded people to what can be done inside a browser today. Parallax scrolling, bezier curves, etc. I agree with Kev though. Scott Forstall, as VP of platform experience, should be "helping" people along by giving out DEV "packs" of graphics, etc. I didn't attend WWDC, so maybe they wanted very badly to give developers bang for their buck without completely sharing it with the world too quickly. I'm personally hoping it might be possible to specify or automatically understand the orientation of the screen on the iPhone. I'm sure Window size would do it, but it'd be great if Safari let off an "event" when the browser orientation is changed. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Category:Canvas_examples Rob, while microformats are fine and good, I greatly dislike the idea of a regex checker.

Otherwise there's going to be a hodgepodge. It's just common sense. If Safari is the platform, then Apple also needs to give out CSS styles, icons, backgrounds, etc to match the iPhone look.

Also, for phone numbers they could just use a regular expression checker like the Treo does.
