hi LInda, #1 iphone does not have device id or anything similiar sent in headers. At least not in web development #2 iphone/itouch does have its own unique user agent header which you can use on server side or event client side javascript code to detect device type to restrict content access #3 you need only decent HTML/CSS/Javascript editors to develop for iPHone/ iTouch for web. That's pure web development #4 I don't know how to implement your single-sing-on requirements,
