some news from iPhone tech talk world tour in Rome

[superstylink]

I was attending iPhone tech talk world tour in Rome few days ago , and
I asked one of the speakers which the main features introduced in the
2.2 firmware just released today , one of the session I followed was
about webapps development and he confirmed offline navigation with
sqlite and no moe toolbar for a bigger screen usability and faster
ajax processing

Do you have any update to the framework about this new improvment

thanks in advance

thanks for your note. i found out about the tech talk too late so i
was unable to attend the one held here in san francisco.

these features, as far as i know, have been available since version
2.1. but they are a great addition to the webapp development.
especially the full-screen option, that's been on the developer wish
list since day one. but i believe it is not controlled via javascript
but, rather, it's just a meta tag you set in your app called
apple-mobile-web-app-capable. setting it to yes should get rid of the
header and footer.

not sure about a good use case for inclusion of sqlite in the CiUI
library though. its main purpose is to mimic behavior of native apps
so any kind of persistence handling logic should be done by individual
applications. but i'm open to hear counter-arguments.
