Although, if you look at every area that “web development” covers, said list would be around 1 km long once it came out the printer. The joys of working in an industry and almost requires you to be an expert in everything. Well, at least the ones that can be abbreviated to an acronym that is pronounced nothing like its spelt :) Considering there is a whole industry devoted to HCI, it’s a wonder there isn’t a definitive set of rules for web development.

"The iPhone - unlike every other cellular phone on the market - browses the web on a full-featured web browser (Safari)" My Nokia N80 from last year ran the Yahoo homepage with all it's AJAX using the brower shipped with the phone. Which like the iPhone is Webkit. My N95 also shipped with a WebKit browser installed. Opera also make 2 flavours of their browser for mobile devices. Both of which are within a hair of passing the ACID 2 test. While the iPhone is cool, these sweeping statements don't make this blog which I enjoy reading or Apple advocates generally look good.

I know I won't be making any drastic modifications.
