Here is the best link i found on inputs for iphone (from listing 11 to the end 
of the document)
http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/codinghowtos/Mobile/UserExperience/index.html#CONTROLLING_KEYBOARD_DISPLAY

I'm not that surprised from Apple with this "whatever devs do, in the end we 
have full control" but i really sounds silly/weird to me to add a pattern 
feature (which is pretty cool when you think about it) and lock it to [0-9]* or 
\d* (or digital i assume).
It would have been a good opportunity to use all kind of regular expressions to 
set as much keymaps as needed...

Anyway -> Good to know: All those type="whatever" and pattern things just have 
NO effects on Android phone… too bad :(
