Posted on 11 April 2008 by

Playback of embedded videos in mobile Safari has been a long-demanded feature, and while Apple's moves toward that as spotted in the latest firmware beta might be little more than a gesture - not full Flash compatibility, just avoiding having to leave Safari and view media in the standalone YouTube app - it's a start at least.  iPhone Atlas have shown ... continued »

Posted on 07 December 2007 by

Back when I regularly used an HP iPAQ one of the most useful upgrades was ditching the awful PocketIE browser and using one of the third-party alternatives - primarily because it added tabbed browsing.  Safari on the iPhone and iPod Touch has multiple pages, but the team over at Inventive Labs Gadgets obviously prefer tabs since they've put together a ... continued »

Mysterious iPhone Action button haunts Safari

Posted on 22 August 2007 by

Somewhere, hidden inside the iPhone, a tiny Michael Winner is desperate to get out.  No, I don't mean it produces name-dropping restaurant reviews, I'm talking about it being a wannabe-director; how else could you explain the random appearance of "Action" when browsing with mobileSafari?  Hold and press near the margin of a webpage and you'll see a small button pop ... continued »
