I'm not really so sure what makes this an iPhone specific "framework". Its just a safari browser with javascript, except you can only capture click events. All you really need in order to make a website iPhone "friendly" is keep buttons > 40x40 px and use: <meta name="viewport" content="width=320; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;"> Beyond that, any other traditional web framework out there works just fine.

Did you read the site? They decorate the DOM entities with behavior and style according to your markup. http://code.google.com/p/safire/wiki/HowTo http://code.google.com/p/safire/wiki/HowTo It is not OO js, and named just like two different ruby variants ( http://www.rubyinside.com/sapphire-two-different-new-re-implementations-of-ruby-819.html http://www.rubyinside.com/sapphire-two-different-new-re-impl... )

jsjenkins, in software a framework is usually defined as (From Wikipedia): "...a re-usable design for a software system" This "framework" encapsulates a lot of iPhone-ish style attributes (like buttons, toolbars, lists, sliding/animation & icons) as well as a good number of webkit's(and mobile safari's) new css / js functions. Additionally we plan to support: Gesture Events (this should be iPhone specific enough for you) & Mobile Safari's Offline Database API

  Sorry, was just a bit confused when I saw iPhone web application framework because I usually think of involving server-side when I see that term, and from that perspective there is little difference between the iPhone browser and others. Being able to easily stylize your pages to achieve iPhone-like appearance is definitely very useful.

    No problem, I probably didn't pick the best description for it anyway.
