Use FireFox, go to about:config, and set the

general.useragent.override

value =

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3

Close and reopen it, and viola, there’s your view source.

Grr, the blog software edited out the recommend meta viewport tag. It is:

meta name = “viewport” id = “viewport” content = “maximum-scale=0.6667; width=480″

Very useful — the only thing I’d suggest is the addition of meta viewport tags to define a better reading size. There is a lot of discussion about the best choices in www.iPhoneWebDev.com in a number of threads including http://groups.google.com/group/iphonewebdev/browse_thread/thread/f43493a828dffdb3, but I’d probably suggest for you:

This I’ve found tends to be one of the best choices for simple web pages that works in both portrait and landscape.
