Anyone know a way to run this in an Site-specific-browser app on the iPhone?

  Click the + icon on Safari's bottom menu. Select "Add to Home Screen".

    As I wrote above, this really just add a shortcut to the page. When you click it, it opens a new tab in Mobile Safari.

  Not really. What lt describes basically creates a shortcut on the springboard, but Mobile Safari accepts specific meta definition that announces the current page as stand-alone so that when launched from the springboard, it is not really launching Safari but just a site-specific browser, without the status bar at the top, nor the toolbar at the bottom. Unfortunately, it has to be written in the page rather than you deciding what you want to do when adding it to the springboard. It's the case with all Google products except Google Talk strangely and I find that's too bad…

  someone should make an app that just calls this page and submit it to apple.

  Copy the following javascript on your iPhone... javascript:var%20s=document.createElement('meta');s.setAttribute('content',%20'yes');s.setAttribute('name',%20'apple-mobile-web-app-capable');document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(s);alert('Now%20add%20the%20webpage%20to%20your%20home%20screen!');void(s); * Visit voice.google.com * Paste javascript into address bar, click "Go" * Dismiss notification ("Now add the webpage to your homescreen") * Add Google Voice to your Home Screen. I didn't test it too much, but it appears to work fine in a SSB.

    I was just writing a page with that same explanation! Now, to you all the women, money and success… It did seem to work for most apps I tried too. (Gmail, Voice, Tasks) There's also a meta tag to select the kind of status bar you want (gray, black or translucent) but it seems that it's dismissed if the page doesn't really have it.
