Other questions, too. Widgets? The new Leopard OS?

"or put something Mac OS-related up" - Niles

Note to Niles: the iPhone *is* Mac-OS related.

Geez, people have been begging for Apple to release a mobile software platform for years, and now that they finally do people are complaining about the excessive coverage.

Don't care about it? Don't read about it! Oh, and don't comment about it either. Thanks.

Why are they using the old design of the apple.com site in their screenshots?

Iphone is the rage now. So cash in.

Right, how dare you focus coverage on the product line where things are actually happening. Especially when so much has happened with Apple's other product lines in the last week. What? Not much has happened with those? What? You still reported on the few things that did?

Remind me to see if these people are complaining about the rush of Leopard-related articles for the first few weeks of its release.

I don't have an iPhone, nor do I mind reading all the updates. But I would much rather read tuaw without all the iphone stuff. I think this product is big enough, and there is enough info to have its own blog...

I don't have an iPhone but I love reading about it. Don't listen to the loud minority.

I don't have an iPhone because of the lack of features. I support any discussion of development, hacks, etc. that will make this device more useful than it currently is. There's a lot of rehashed info about the iPhone, but IMO any talk of software and further development is good.

Half a million Americans are now holding Leopard in their hands. We are seeing the ubiquitous animations in the next-gen UI, the beginnings of a multi-touch OS, the soaring of Apple stock, and whether or not the Leopard delay was worth it.

Besides, Apple isn't releasing any more big hardware updates (anything with a display) until Leopard ships, since that'll depend on Resolution Independence.

The document released by Apple this week only tells the beginning of the story of how to optimize web pages for the iPhone and develop webapps. The www.iPhoneWebDev.com developer community has been working hard to fill in the gaps of missing information. Since Friday we've figured out some best practices for viewport settings, discovered how to hide the URL bar to make more space available to web apps, how to detect orientation changes (portrait to landscape and back), and have made progress on quite a few issues and work arounds for a number of bugs.
