iPhone Safari Browser

For those interested in comparing the iPhone’s mobile Safari browser’s rendering of full HTML web pages, here is a screenshot example of this site. DALESANDRO.NET does not include any special support for mobile browsers so it may serve as a good example of how regular sites will display. Larger sites typically have specific mobile versions that do not include all of the same features as their non-mobile counterparts. So far, the iPhone has been able to serve all web pages very well. If you compare it to Firefox or IE on a regular computer, it looks the same.
