@fixx Thanks, looks pretty good, but we're looking for something hosted and pay-by-the month. You should really consider both of those. - more on Twitter

Safari on Windows

Safari now runs on OS X, Windows, and soon the iPhone.

It may be a relatively boring announcement for Mac users, but Safari on Windows is a big step toward Apple platformizing their web browser. The more people who use it the more web developers will write for it (which is a good thing for everyone, considering Web Kit, which Safari is based on, is the most standards-compliant of the major rendering engines). And the more sites that work in Safari, the more sites will work on the iPhone. Unlike a Mac, where I can run both Safari and Firefox, I won’t be able to switch to another browser on the iPhone (and probably any other web-enabled Apple device that’s not a Mac), so it’s important for Apple’s long-term device viability that Web Kit gets as broad support as possible.

  1. So I took the Windows Safari Beta for a test drive, and I immediately didn’t like it. Using the personalized Google homepage was difficult, and some of the features didn’t work at all. When logged into gmail, the gchat feature was nonexistent. Aren’t they (goog and app) supposed to be in bed with eachother or something?
