iPhone Web Development book debuts
August Trometer's new PDF book, Optimizing Your Website for Mobile Safari" just debuted. I am not much of a web designer myself but I may cough up the ten bucks to pick up a copy of this ebook. Topics according to the web page include Mobile Safari detection, Webkit-specific CSS attributes, and how to use iPhone-specific features via web tweaks. iUI, Joe Hewitt's iPhone-specific webpage design kit, doesn't appear in the write-up, and I'm not sure if Trometer covers using it or not. Full disclosure, I have worked with AW/Pearson and will be doing so again.

iPhone Web Developer Tool
http://www.manifestinteractive.com/iphone/
This application allows you to use your iPhone for Web Developing. You can View Source, Find on Page, Outline Divs & Tables, etc. Similar to the Firefox Web Developer Extension. Simply drag bookmarks into the web browser that you have your iPhone or iPod Touch synced to and you're good to go. Works on any site.
Let me know what you think. If you have stuff you want added just let me know.

Spare yourself all the pain I just went through trying to download this ebook. After I ordered it, it didn't download the book itself but a "ebx.etd" file. This opens in Adobe Reader, which takes me to Adobe's page for Adobe Digital Editions. But there appears to be no way to actually download Adobe Digital Editions--clicking on download takes me to the help page, and clicking on download there takes me back to the first page. Others users on Adobe's forum complain of the same problem.
Now we'll see how long it will take me to get my money back from informIT/AW/Pearson.
