Is surfing the internet as good on the iPhone
as it is on your home computer?

How it internet on the iPhone works
Apple have really emphasised that surfing the internet on the iPhone should be as close to surfing the internet on a full sized computer browser as you might at home .i.e. you do not have to rely on stripped down, simplified pages, specially designed for, and miniturised to fit on a small cell phone display.

The iPhone acheives this by loading a full, scaled down, page onto your screen. The screen resolution is more than double that of a standard monitor and so looks good despite its dimension. By double tapping twice on any where on the screen, the display zooms in on the area you have selected, making smaller text and pictures ledgible.

Design flaws?
Two major ommissions in the early iPhone jumped out at us:
1) iPhone inexplicably does not support Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash. This really is not good as Flash is the standard for delivering innovative interactive content on the web, with many websites (including those of some pretty major companies) relying on flash almost completely. Nor will it support web audio or video streamed through Real or Windows media formats. You will be able to use the Youtube player however.
2) iPhone dioes not support file upload via a webpage. Apple have missed a trick here because it would be cool if you could upload the pictures taken using the built in camera straight up to photo sharing sites like Flikr.
