Hi,
I am making a website that allows users to download templates like the same way as office.microsoft.com does. Now the problem is that i also want to target iPhone users but the thing is that am a bit stuck upon the decision that should i go for for an iPhone Application OR a Made for iPhone Website. I wanted to go for an app though i wanted some even better option. {{mod link removed}}
This is something which i believe can be a better option. But i dont know how much this can actually help. Plz can anyone help me out? I want to know which is actually a better option.
Thanx in advance

I have been experimenting with the use of @media queries to give the iPhone its own (simplified) styles. For my particular design, it was remarkably easy, adding just a couple of dozen lines to my stylesheet. YMMV of course.

See near the end of this article for more on this: "How to serve the right content to mobile browsers".

Cordially, David

The major differences between them are, an application can use all the iPhone features, work offline where a webpage cannot and an application can be sold / distributed via the iPhone store.

I would say that the best thing about iPhone is the Applications it provide.People want that mobile for the ease of work and usability through Apps.I think you should go for Iphone Apps.
