I'm at the iPhone Tech Talk in SF this afternoon. For the next couple
of hours we have the ear of a number of Apple staffers associated with
the iPhone.

What are the top *fixable* developer issues that need to be addressed?

On my list in rough order of priority:

* userscalable = false only stops the user from zooming. In a number
of cases, for instances after using a webform, or returning to a page
from another page, the zoom level will change even when userzoomable
is false. We really need a zoom=false that locks the zoom level
entirely.

* Zooming problems happen in a wide variety of situations. There
should be some way to read and or set the zoom level on the fly.

* Hiding the URL bar currently uses a scrollTo hack, which then causes
problems in other areas. There should be some way to hide it more
permanently.

* The onresize event doesn't work consistently. The javascript hacks
we have allow us to work around it it, but they can cause their own
problems, including performance because of polling, and breaking the
functionality of scrolling to anchor # references to pages.

* Some way to programatically add bookmarks, and have safari ask the
user for permission before adding.

* Need some way to add a webkit property to objects so that they have
the "halo" effect that a number of internal iphone applications use to
show that an small button has been selected.
