Interesting. I wasn’t aware that WebKit was available on Nokia phones or that Adobe was using it. Thanks.
Out of curiosity, what is Adobe using WebKit for? Live preview in Dreamweaver CS3, I’m guessing?

Here’s a thought – what’s now the easiest way for a phone manufacturer to become ‘iPhone compatible’??

(Clue : it’s open source, 6 letters long, and already available on certain Nokia phones).

Interesting to see the range of problems people reporting with Safari on Windows – says an awful lot about the advantages of end-to-end managing a single platform.

Interesting to see Adobe and Apple have taken different approaches to WebKit on Windows (Adobe use Cairo, Apple have ported CoreGraphics).

Paul! You have a blog. WWDC just wasn’t the same with out chatting with you on AIM. Great post, I can’t really argue with any of that.
