Just started to design my mobile website, I've chosen iPhone to design this for.
However I've come across some problems when first designing it;

Screen resolution;
-Finding the pixel resolution for the iPhone has been a bit of a problem, the resolution is 960x640 however this seems way too big for an iPhone, however i am using a Media query that states if it is an iPhone to change to this resolution. I;m judging from the information I've found that the iPhone resolution is just a very high quality, so once my site has been transferred over to the iPhone version it will just be a very high quality site. However i will test this.

Fonts;
As I used a Google font for my original site i wondered about the compatibility of my font with an iPhone site, this has been solved by finding this information.


"Does the Google Web Fonts API work on mobile devices?
The Google Web Fonts API works reliably on the vast majority of modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod). Support for earlier iOS versions is limited."

This helps me out a bit. Seeing as the majority of people switch to new iPhone's when they are released, i shouldn't have a huge problem with my font use on iPhone platforms.
