iPhone basics

iPhone
Although iPhone wallpapers are 320x480, its WebKit-based browser's viewing resolution is 320x396 (navigation buttons occupy the bottom, and address etc controls are on the top). The iPhone has no java (unlike Android) and no real Adobe Flash plugin, but Safari now has HTML5's offline storage support.

Some reader applications on your desktop (like Mozilla Thunderbird) can automatically pull news from an feed such as this one.
