A close examination of the descriptions of Apple’s 2008 WWDC sessions revealed at least one iPhone gem, buried in the appropriately-named “Enhancing Your iPhone Web Application with CSS Transforms and Animations” overview: Safari’s getting a little bit of an update. With firmware 2.0 baking to a delightfully golden brown right at this time in preparation for a June release, of course, it only stands to reason that the iPhone’s Safari implementation would get retooled a bit to pull in a more recent Webkit build and stay somewhat in sync with the headway Apple’s browser has made on the desktop, and we at this time know that CSS transforms and animations will be supported as a part of that. What does that mean, precisely? In short, the feature allows web page elements to be twirled, zoomed, and skewed, making for some pretty eye-popping (or watering) effects. It’s all plan to be accelerated by the iPhone’s hardware, too, meaning that the next ultra-annoying ad for some sketchy product that you view on your iPhone should really fly.
