Christopher,
Are you at the Apple tech talk today? Can you bring up the issue of
hiding the URL bar to Apple as a topic that needs to be addressed? If
Apple wants people to develop web apps for iPhone then developers
should have an improved way to maximize screen space. What do you
think?
A web app doesn't really need the top or the bottom bar in Safari. I'd
like to see some kind of auto-hide feature much like the Mac OS X Dock
can auto-hide to create more screen space for apps.
