With iPhone becoming the current rage in USA and with its popularity gradually picking up in other parts of the globe, users are hooking on to the Mobile Safari as the popular mobile web browser. The Apple iPhone with rich HTML and Mobile Safari features is the most advanced mobile web browser available. No other mobile device could match its skills. Apple iPhone automatically synchronizes bookmarks from your Mac or PC. There are built-in features for using popular search engines like Google or Yahoo!
To take advantage of the rapidly growing market of mobile web browsers, developers are redesigning their web sites to take advantage of the iPhone features and become user friendly to the new generation of iPhone users. Pathfinder has launched an open source Rails Plug-in for the iPhone with iUI toolkit to simplify creating iPhone friendly web applications. This plug-in is powered by a number of CSS styles and JavaScript event handlers.
Being open source, this plug-in could be used by any person interested in building iPhone enabled web applications. Currently the plug-in is focusing on downloading iUI, moving files to the Rail’s public directories and changing the CSS image URL. This is indeed a useful developer’s kit.
