ContentRobot created iwPhone, an excellent wordpress plugin which allow to make your blog’s content optimized for iPhone. I have installed iwPhone on AJAX4iPhone as you can see it in the Screenshot below. The plugin is still in beta, but it’s already working fine. I just have to test it with wp-cache because it’s usually create few problems to show cached page instead of the optimized page.

During the iPhoneDevCamp, OpenLaszlo team took the time to create a first iPhone application called “NewsMatch” and prove that Open Laszlo compiles to standards-compliant DHTML that works well in every major browser, including Safari on the iPhone. The application simply grab RSS from Yahoo including news and photos, then user have to match news title to photo to read the news itself. Probably not the best way to read news, but lots of a fun and especially an excellent experiment to see OpenLaszlo able to create complex applications for iPhone.

To get started developing for iPhone, there is two approaches : link your PC to your iPhone and start testing directly, or simply use a similator. iPhoney is the first iPhone similator, and I guess this approach is much more easier. iPhone Browser Simulator provides an iPhone sized web view with which to test your iPhone targetted apps, all in a pretty iPhone-inspired package. iPhoney is available for MacOS only but now that open sourced under GPL, probably more systems will be supported.

iPhoney 1.1 new features include :

• Zoom out to see how your current pages might look while zoomed out on iPhone.
• Turn off plug-ins (including Flash, but note that they all turn off (including QuickTime).
• Specify a custom user agent string.
• Automatic updates with Sparkle, so you’ll always know if there’s a new version.
• And of course, open source code so you can contribute to iPhoney’s rapid development.
