Designtion has made two improvements to the Cell PDF Reader service. First, there were some reported iPhone xhtml incompatibilities that have been resolved. Second, recognizing that mobile devices all have memory, screen, and internet connection differences, you can now customize the size of the PDF pages for optimization for your phone. 1x (~1k per page) is the default and should be compatible with all devices. However, you can choose up to 5x now (~5k per page) to display more content at a time for higher-powered devices. (5x looks better on the iphone in landscape view!) You can change this via the dropdown in your user home screen. The pages read / maximum pages ratio of each document will change accordingly.

Wow!
http://www.apple.com/safari/

Apple released their super fast browser Safari for PC. So far it’s great. There’s a lot of the OS X feel that they ported over quite nicely, like the changing size preferences window and smooth drag and drop bookmark effects.

The form elements in page renders are OS X’s and even the fonts are the same. The embossed menus look the same as OS X as well except they’re darker. The grey is darker too and lacks that brushed metal feel. Still this is very impressive. This is way better than Apple’s early ports of Itunes for PC.

Currently I’m testing all of Designtion’s sites in this new browser on the market. So far, so good, as they have all been tested on Safari for OS X. Flash came preinstalled, which was a good move on Apple’s part.
