Assignment Shanghai: Photographs on the Eve of Revolution June 17, 2010
Berkeley, California 94720
In 1946 'Life' magazine assigned a young, relatively inexperienced photographer Jack Birns to Shanghai with the instructions that he document the ongoing Chinese civil war. A selection of these photographs portray the upheaval of war, societal changes and the approaching revolution that would change Shanghai and China forever.

I think I might just have to show up brieflly with BlackBerry in hand, testing "web sites optimized for iPhone" just to make sure they degrade gracefully and checking them overall POSHness .

I heard all iPhone sales will not need any rep to service you, just sell it over the counter and iTunes will handle the phone activation.

@tantek: exactly. The whole point is to push the open web as the iPhone platform! No proprietary technologies needed (read: Flash -- hardware is another issue altogether!).
xian
no, to make sure they are enhanced progressively!

@tantek, @factoryjoe: I may do the same with my SideKick. It's amazing how many sites could easily but don't work because of some sort of optimization. I don't need mobile web, just don't break unnecessarily.
