Oh my god! Sony have totally pwnd me!

I decided t’other day to purchase me a SonyEricsson k850i - iPhones are only going to be available on o2, so rather than wait six months, or do any of that “drop-it-down-to-the-cheapest-tariff-and-have-two-’phones” malarky, I opted to extend my contract with Voda for another 6 months and get the next best thing on the market.

Go ahead to The Apple Store and pre-order your copy of Leopard now!

It’ll be delivered before the release date and delivery is free!!

As you can appreciate, this is going to cause havoc for web developers.

Well, this isn’t really the case. Semantic markup done properly will work in any browser on any screen. If you have an iPhone or a Touch, head over to www.tropicana.co.uk and see for yourself! This site was built (by me) using XHTML 1.0 Transitional simply so that it would work perfectly in “normal” browsers. Now, seeing as Safari IS a normal browser, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work.

There are, however, a few things to consider: (more…)
