With the Web Kit engine used by Safari, developers can create sophisticated web content and applications designed for iPhone. Using both open standards and iPhone services--such as making phone calls, sending mail, and displaying locations on maps--developers can design web applications that extend iPhone's capabilities. Web content designed according to iPhone human interface guidelines works optimally in iPhone's gesture-based, windowless environment. Web content developed and optimized for iPhone also works on iPod touch.

A guided introduction and learning path to developing web content for iPhone.   Essential information for developing and optimizing web applications and content for iPhone.
