N800</title></head><body>
<div>Actually, I've tried a few more sites, and yeah, you're right,
some of the more heavily AJAX'd sites don't work. I checked out some
of the "iphone specific" iphone-ized sites/webapps on
iphoneapps.cnet.com and these seem to work fine:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>facebook, brickshooter, sudoku, digg, countdown timer, tip</div>
<div> calculator, iphlickr, appmarks, mojits</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I especially like how iphlickr's interface gives you the iphone
"feel". Appmarks is pretty neat, and it makes my Nokia look
a bit like an iphone, but it's super slow. Mojits works better as an
iphone apps launcher.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I should also mention that I'm running the Mozilla browser.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So I was really off about the compatibility, but I still think
it's an interesting idea. The nice thing about the N800 is you'd have
the best of both worlds: "real" apps *and* web/iphone apps.
Of course the down side is you gotta have wi-fi access. Still, it
might be an interesting direction for some developers to try out. At
the very least, I'm digging the iphone-ized web sites 'cause they fit
my browser window so well!</div>

But for that, the browser should support complex javascript execution.
I don't know about N800, but on my N770 I can't reliably open google
websites that use heavy AJAX (maps/regular view of gmail/google
reader, etc.) I am using stock N770.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have experience with safari's javascript support on
iPhone?<br>

<blockquote>The biggest problem I've come across so far is that some
of the "apps" I've tried are set up for vertical vs.
horizontal viewing. I don't suppose anyone could come up with a hack
to let the N800's view web sites rotated 90 degrees?<br>
