IHT.com launches iPhone-optimized site
Posted by Sarah Schewe on July 8, 2008 at 9:41 AM
IHT.com has announced a new iPhone-optimized web site. The entire site is based on AJAX, allowing for quick downloads.
IHT blogger Michael Cosentino acknowledged there are still bugs in the system, notably compatibility issues with some Safari features. "The iPhone site is still very much a work in progress. We wanted to get the core functionality in place first," wrote Cosentino.
The IHT plans to continue developing the site from its current barebones frame, including plans to soon add an "E-mail Article" option.
It's expected other papers will soon follow suit, the New York Times has already announced plans for an iPhone application, which will be released later this month.
