Without hardware 3d acceleration?
Of course, that's assuming the iPhone OS worked here, which is not the case, so...

Mobile OSX has some very neat things, but it's mostly smoke and mirrors ( very slick smoke and mirrors ). Think about this... if you start typing a post on a Touch/iPhone ( who would, but lets say they do ) and then go to look up a phone number or something guess what... safari has probably been purged from memory along with everything you typed. Oops

Really, brontide, I'm sure it does save the current state, just like the N800 does when it closes apps due to insufficient memory. (That's when the icon in the task navigator says zz; then when you click on it, it relaunches the app and tells it to load its state.)

It looses the state of javascript controls on my Touch. Basically unless the site designs ways to save it to the server/cookies it's at risk of being lost as soon as you flip to another page/application.

if users are in the midst of providing information to your webpage (by filling in a form, for example), you should alert them to the possibility of data loss if they navigate away from your webpage before they are finished.

Really, though, any discussion of 3d is still besides the point, as iPhone OS is closed and designed for radically different hardware.

Someone should sticky this forum btw, we're obsessing over things that are impossible.
