CheathamLane on iPhone

Submitted by cheathamlane on Sat, 2007-07-21 23:11.

Having some fun with iPhone; except for photography, have the CheathamLane Web site visible to iPhone in an iPhone-specific format (a la iUI) .

I still need to "pretty it up", but the basics are there (thanks Joe!). Interestingly, iPhone specific links such as <a href="tel:1-510-868-9120">(510) 868.9120</a>, and some regular http links, don't seem to work from my pages.

These pages will probably not preview correctly in a regular Web browser, so don't bother. ;-)

More to come, and back to the drawing board!

Aha, so it seems that links geared to interact with iPhone (telephone numbers, email mailto:, maps) need to have a target of "_self" before they'll open the appropriate app on iPhone.

Solved!

Hi Patrick,

Nice micro site.

The "360° rotational product photography" pitch is genius. Never heard of it. Outstanding and clever phrasing, I think.

I really enjoyed your note on..."iPhone does not yet support delivery of interactive panoramas...".

Do you think Apple will ever consider it? I have got no hope left in me. They neglect their own property...QTVR. They don't support Java or Flash.....and one has to recommend a iPhone user to use a regular laptop/desktop to access the internet to see a fully interactive media...
that is a slap in the face from Apple beyond comprehendibility to me. In fact, I find it is already offensive.

VRcheers,

Milko

Hey Milko:

:-P

I can only think that Apple must be looking to incorporate more support for 3rd party plugins on the iPhone. I imagine how difficult it must be to pack it all in to their stripped down iOS. ;)

We'll see wha the future brings...

Cheers!

(and thanks for the kudos!)

I've moved away from Joe's iUI, and gotten lots of inspiration from http://www.iphonemiles.com , for the basic CheathamLane iPhone presence. iPhoneMiles is a nice little online app, by the way, for folks who need to track mileage.

Cheers,
