Apple Webclip Bookmarks

[PicnicTutorials]

This just took me a few minutes to track down so I thought I'd post it. <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/>

 

Basically, on the iPhone when you bookmark a site to the home screen (not the bookmarks section) by default iPhone will take a little screen shot of the website and use that as the little app icon (now on your home page). Some sites have a custom image that takes the screen shots place. No that I know, I'm going to add that to my site.

 

...I have the iPhone 4! Antenna issues aside, it is the most amazing piece of machinery ever made. I'm in the a star trek episode every time I use it.

Actually, you only need to put the icon in your root. No link required. http://vjarmy.com/archives/2008/01/howto_iphone_webclip_icons.php

Nice Eric. How many iPhone users are there now? My guess is that the number is growing at a good rate that it may become a standard for some web developers and/or businesses.

I don't know how many there are but likely many as it's been the phone to beat 4 years running. Happy 4th!

Here is what mine looks like. The tuts say to shrink the icon to 57x57. But I actually found that the icon looked much more crisp if I left it at it's original size and let the iPhone shrink it. If you don't want iPhone to crop it make it the same width and height like I did.
