Here’s a little known secret: bookmarklets work on your iPhone.
But wait, what are bookmarklets?
Bookmarklets are little pieces of Javascript code that can be saved as ordinary bookmarks in your web browser. They enhance your browsing experience by giving you super-instant access to useful tools and special functionality.
There are billions of them, and below are my favorites. These work wonderfully on a computer, but they’ll add an extra boost of functionality to your iPhone.

Makes links appear in new windows when you tap on them. Read more here

It’s just funny when the iPhone is around the news just spreads like a bad weed, we never heard from some actual stundants just a quick to blame iPhone network guy. I’m a network person myself but we to just call out the iPhone like that was just wrong. So now it’s Cisco to blame well being that there’s a Cisco office about 30 minutes away from Duke they should have this fixed very soon.
Cisco the root of Duke’s problems, not iPhone: ”
It took a week of false accusations from Duke University, but the truth finally came out. The iPhone was not at fault for the wireless networking problems the university has been experiencing.
Duke admitted late yesterday that a Cisco wireless access point was the cause of the problems that Kevin Miller, assistant director, communications infrastructure, with Duke’s Office of Information Technology, had blamed the iPhone for causing.
Duke posted a statement to its Web site saying the iPhone was not to blame. I talked to Cisco last night and they said a fix was in place and Duke hasn’t experienced the problem since.

Delete them and re-try loading the page(s). Finally, deleting History can be effective on the Desktop versions of Safari, and may also be so on the iPhone. All of these items can be cleared by using the Settings application then tapping Safari.
Full reboot Perform a hard reboot of your iPhone as follows: Turn the iPhone off completely, by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the device) for a few seconds then slide the red slider. Turn it back on by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. This can clear potentially problematic data, preventing some crash-type”
