yet another iPhone question

August 6, 2009 3:13 PM

Is there an iPhone app that has the sole purpose of opening up a webpage of your choosing.

I know I could simply bookmark the website, however it's a webpage I check all the time and would save me a step or two. I think such an app would be very useful.

use the 'add to home screen' option to create an 'app' out of a bookmark...

You can create a home screen bookmark for that.
Go to your favorite website, click the "+" button found on the bottom toolbar, and then select "add to home screen".

Instead of adding a URL as a bookmark, you can add it as an icon to the iPhone home screen.

zentrification has it. I used it to create an icon for google reader access.
