Six Revisions has a great new article about building native-app-like web apps for the iPhone. Most of the information was familiar to me from prior research, but I did learn a very cool new thing.
You can define a startup screen for your web application. This is huge because it mitigates the sluggish feeling you get when you start your web app see it as a non-responsive cached version while you wait for it to load. Now you feel like the app has already responded to you and it’s just getting things together (which is actually what’s happening).
My most current development version of Shop Shark uses this feature. You can check that out here: http://shopshark-dev.softwerewolf.com
