I have confirmed from an actual iPhone user that using <meta
name="viewport" content="width=320" /> in the HTML <head> prevents the
iPhone Safari browser from zooming out, as long as the body of the
page does not have content wider than 320.  The iPhone also appears to
scale well when rotated.

We tried the <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0" />
declaration in an actual iPhone and it did what it is supposed to do
(scale up to the larger width), but we found it less preferable
because it scaled things too much.  For instance most lines of text
longer than 12 characters at 10pt size wrapped.

Our conclusion is to use Christopher's first suggestion: <meta
name="viewport" content="width=320" /> and then tweak/play if your
application has special needs.

Thanks all!
