The iPhone looks like it might be going to popularize smart phones. 
Hand held devices could be of use in emergency management, so I asked 
the iPhone developer community to try the demo version of the Sahana 
disaster management system on an iPhone. So far I have had two 
replies. The first reply indicated that it worked reasonably well; 
the second indicated some problems: Sidebar too narrow, Some form 
text too small, Wrong tab order, Pinch interface?

Details on the Sahana discussion forum:

More generally, I wonder how the iPhone will effect the development 
of web applications and interfaces.
