These are the most Optimized sites for the iPhone
- Facebook - http://iphone.facebook.com/ : this is definitely the best iPhone optimized website that I have seen. I fell in love with it right off the bat. I have been using it for a while. My favorite feature is the text reply to messages. This feature allows you to see who just commented or emailed you and allows you a quick and easy way to reply back to that person. I also like the picture viewer app and it is really easy to browse profiles. Try it out! If you did not know about this iPhone opitimized site then your stoked and Facebook just got better
- Digg- http://www.digg.com/iphone : Digg is a social network site that lets you share information about links to stories, articles, videos, blogs you name it. It is fast and easy! Check it out!
- Amazon.com - http://www.amazon.com : Brandone Eley writes about his accidental discovery of this iPhone optimized site. read more at theappleblog.com.
- eBay - http://iphone.ebay.com : of course if Amazon has one you should expect ebay to be optimized too.
- Google - http://google.com/Google is optimized nicely. Click on google.com and hit the mobile link. I love this one because I can get all of my rss feeds from my Google reader page.
- Tada List - http://tadalist.com : Never heard of this site till yesterday! I guess this is good for making to do list on your iPhone.
- Leafllets - http://www.getleaflets.com/ : Once again never heard of it. But awesome and clean interface. Leaflets lets you check feeds from Newsvine, del.icio.us, yahoo upcoming events, flickr, NY Times and much more. It also points you to a list of apps for the iphone that you may not have installed yet. Loads Quickly and easy to use.
- Yahoo Search - Looks different (a little bit) but smells the same. i.e. Google.com
- Wordpress Blogs - http://iwphone.contentrobot.com/ Which this is, if you have not noticed. Have your iPhone optimized blog in a jiffy. This is a free blog but if you have one hosted with Wordpress that is not free but on its own domain you can download the plugin from Wordpress.com and simply turn it on in your admin panel.

- Pocket Tweets - http://www.pockettweets.com/ : Great little twitter app for those of you who love a Twitter style site.

Hello there fellow Apple enthusiasts.
I would like to say that this blog has been a little biased to a brilliant little invention that you may know about called the iPhone. I promise to do more talking about the other wonderful products that Apple has to offer in some later post. BUT.. for now lets focus on what is important… and that is the iPhone and the various ways that you can make it truly your own iPhone. I mean after all that is probably the main reason why you are here in the first place.
I found a nice little resource that has all of the iPhone tools in one place for your download pleasure. It is called Jailbreak 101. A nifty site called Appletizeme.com has just recently created a new forum for its large community of readers. Also as a special thank you to its forum members Appletizeme.com has given some of its members a great package of Jailbreak software that you cannot find in one place anywhere on the net.
So if you want to upgrade/downgrade/hand grenade your iPhone check out this post and participate in the fun!

Apple’s MagSafe power cords have probably saved thousands of laptops from untimely impacts — too bad there’s no such insurance policy for the iPhone. Brett Peters’ phone had an unfortunate encounter with his young son and moments later, with the floor, and the result is as you see above. While the screen glass is shattered, Brett was able to lay a piece of clear packing tape on top of the phone and keep all the shards in place. You can see all the photos on Brett’s blog and here on Flickr.
Believe it or not, the phone is still functional; more surprisingly, except for the most seriously damaged spots, the touchscreen still works. Brett is considering a screen replacement via this procedure, but in the meantime I’m sure he’s having a heart-to-heart with his son about the facts of physics. 9.8m/s^2 — it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law.

During a question and answer session following the
iPhone Software Roadmap event in early March, a press member asked about the possibility of a VoIP (voice-over-IP) application for the iPhone.
Steve Jobs left the door wide open, saying that while
Apple wouldn’t allow such an application to access the cellular network, VoIP is certainly a possibility over
WiFi.
JAJAH has announced plans to capitalize on this opportunity by offering a native iPhone application built with Apple’s
SDK this Summer. The app will work as a full VoIP client when connected to WiFi networks, and use a callback methodology (in which the user calls a designated local number and is then called back and connected to the desired phone number) when using a cellular network. The company has long offered a Web-based VoIP offering for the iPhone.
