Fullscreen.me is an interesting service that allows you to create iOS web apps that run in fullscreen mode. You can create little web apps through mobile Safari using Fullscreen.me's website interface.
This is nice if you have a lot of websites that you visit on your iPhone, and you don't want to have to navigate through Safari tabs to try to view them all. You can instead create little icons on your home screen of all your favorite sites...
The developer behind BrowserChanger and Action Menu Voice is working on a new app called Safari GridTab, which basically shows your opened Safari tabs in a grid.
It looks like it's much easier to navigate through the tabs this way. Safari GridTab is still in development but it will hopefully be released soon...
I can't say that I use Gmail in mobile Safari too often, considering that the native Mail App has great support for Gmail, but there must be some of you crazy folks out there that still do.
Fret not, Google has heard your cries for an improved mobile Safari experience, they've seen your tears, and they've felt your pain. As a result, an updated version of Gmail for mobile Safari is now live at last.
What new features can you expect to see? Well, too be honest, they're more on the aesthetics side of the house, meaning they don't add much in the way new functionality. Check inside for the details on not one, but two new improvements for Gmail on mobile Safari...Â
"A nice lightweight, quick little WebKit browser..." -- that's how the developer of the recently released SkyF1re Browser describes their iPhone browser for jailbroken iPhones. And while that's certainly an apt description, the browser is so incredibly lightweight, that it might just float away into utter obscurity.
Although one must keep in mind that this is version 1.0 of the app, I couldn't even get the address bar working on my iPhone. Â No working address functionality on a browser? That's not a good thing.
Ever wanted to control your Mac from your iPhone while still being able to fully customize everything you can do? Â Sure there are remote control apps out there, but many of them require software on both the iPhone and the desktop (and are rarely free).
Brett Terpstra has developed a working PHP script called HomeControl that will let you control your Mac from within Mobile Safari. Â The experience has a native iPhone look and feel and it mimics the iOS UI controls...Â
Even with plenty of browser alternatives out there, I always find myself going back to Safari.  There's just something aesthetically pleasing about Apple's stock browser that keeps me coming back, even though it's totally devoid of some basic features.
For this reason, whenever I hear about any tweaks that add additional functionality to Safari, I'm all over it like white on rice.  The latest tweak to come out of the jailbreak community is called FullScreen for Safari, and it packs quite the punch.
The tagline in Cydia for EnhancedTabs is that it "Makes Safari's tabs much better." Despite the somewhat conceited nature of the app, I must agree.
If you're jailbroken and looking to add additional functionality to the iPhone's stock browser, this is a tweak that you're going to want to try. EnhancedTabs brings three features to the table that aim to, well, enhance your tabs...

Covert is a new jailbreak application by Chpwn that lets you enable private browsing on Safari. Let's imagine you want to browse those favorite dirty sites of yours but you don't want your girlfriend to snoop in your browser history and realize you've been watching 2 girls and a cup for the 50th time, then Covert is for you.
I certainly hope that's not what you will use Covert for, but at least you get my point. This being said, this is how to use Covert...
Home Page in Safari is a new jailbreak application that lets you set a home page in Mobile Safari, simply by tapping the " + " button while visiting the website of your choice, then tapping "set as home".
This is a very simple and convenient tweak that seems to be more useful on the iPad than it really is on the iPhone, as Mark from 9 to 5 Mac noted...
When the iPhone was introduced back in 2007 Steve Jobs made it known that he thought the phone's best feature was the ability to browse the internet in its entirety. To his credit it was the first device to even come close. As Jobs' idol, Bob Dylan sang, "The times they are a changing".
The Bango Blog offers some insight regarding their newest web browsing statistics that show a decline in web traffic as it relates to content viewed from the iPhone. Should the decline be attributed to the influx in platforms that offer the same style of browsing? Some would argue that systems like Android offer a more comprehensive experience strictly due to their support of Flash...
It was bad enough that many of the exciting features that accompanied iOS 4 weren't going to be added to the iPhone 3G. It was a whole different debacle when we reported that the device was basically crippled in many instances after making the upgrade.
According to a demo by Life Hacker, iOS 4.1 works much smoother on the 2 year old device than the previous version. The site notes the following regarding their little experiment:
