So after detecting my first iPhone connect to my Blog,   I wondered whether the Mobile AJAX code that I wrote for Windows Mobile would work for other browsers.See  -

So, I decided to download the Apple Safari web browser for windows.   I thought that Safari would show up pretty well how my mobile Blog would appear on an iPhone.  Surprise, surprise my mobile AJAX blog just didn't load.  Safari can be obtained here -
