Open Thread: How Do Your Favorite Web Apps Perform on the iPhone?
In the week building up to the release of the iPhone on Friday evening US, we've been exploring web apps for the iPhone. We also reviewed
the first iPhone Development platform, created by Morfik.
Now that the iPhone is in the hands of early US adopters (the Apple ones at least), we expect to see a flurry of web entrepreneurs and ordinary users testing their apps in the iPhone.
Mobile social networking startup MyStrands pinged us this evening to tell us about their tests. Their excited blog post says:
"What do we like most? The easy sync with the mac. It’s amazing! I’ve got all my email, contacts, playlists in my iPhone… with zero effort. And of course…
MyStrands mobile website looks great!"

Open Thread
So let's make this an open thread over the weekend. If you have your hands on an iPhone, let us know how your favorite web sites and services perform in it. And if you're a web developer or entrepreneur, tell us how your app works - is the UI as good as it's being promoted? Is the navigation easy? Blurt it out...

There are already a number of so-called iPhone applications in beta stages that you can test on supported browsers like Safari, IE7 and Firefox

I looked at the so-called Top 10 iPhone Apps that Lifehacker posted the other day. I was less than impressed with most of them, and it seems a lot of them tried to go for the iPhone look (unsuccessfully for the most part) rather than provide true (or innovative) functionality.

I'm curious if the web-based version of Rhapsody works at all in the iPhone, and if it does, is the at&t data service fast enough to stream the songs.
I bought the iphone on Friday at 7:00 pm. Till now AT&T has not activated the phone. I think it was a Apple's mistake to go with one carrier that can not handle the success of this phone
Here is my experience with iZoho on iPhone.

Its sad that the keyboard doesnt come up for WYSIWYG Editors. It only works for basic form elements.
Has anyone released a Twitterific like app for the iPhone?

We did a quick try this week end and while the iPhone does not have autofocus, its camera module is good enough to produce decent qipit copies.
We have therefore the pleasure to confirm that the iPhone is Qipit compatible.

I use iMacros for Firefox everyday with ALL the Web 2.0 sites that I frequent. It saves so much time. Can't wait to see a iMacros for Safari version :-)
