Safari on iPhone

The browser preloaded on Apple's iPhone is a version of the Mac-maker's desktop offering Safari, based on open source WebKit tech. Custom tweaked for the iPhone, Safari certainly makes the most of the device's touchscreen - zooming in and out of web pages is effortless, with users able to just pinch to shrink or prise to expand their view. Like a lot of Apple's wares, it's user-friendly but only available on Apple kit.

Features

  • Innovative use of multitouch touchscreen for zooming in and out of web pages
  • Kinetic scrolling making it easier to pan around large pages
  • Virtual keyboard
  • Support for landscape browsing

Lacks

  • Flash or Java support
  • Cut and paste
