I've just finished my first iPhone specific web app: caltrain schedule

it's available at http://caltrainapp.com

some details:

 - parsing the html tables from http://caltrain.com/timetable.html was
the hardest part because they aren't valid/well formed.  (usually they
have times between as 1:00, for both 1am and 1pm, as well as an
occasional 13:XX and other oddities.

 - all the pages are pre-built: resulting in 6MB of html, and 1465
files.

 - built in ruby, using erb

 - created links to google maps (which pop up in the maps app) -
moviesapp.com used a string &oi=movies - anyone know what this is?

---

I hope to move from iUI to a more suitable UI (not that iUI isn't
good, but it isn't rich enough for the types of pages I need).  Plus
bookmarkability would be nice ;)

If anyone is interested I'll release the source under the GPL

Jesse

ps: There are hunks of (elisp?) code in comments of the timetable page
on caltrain.com -- good to know lispers use errors like foo as well :p

   (while (re-search-forward "</th><td" nil t)
     (backward-char 3)
     (save-restriction
       (narrow-to-region (point) (progn (end-of-line) (point)))
       (goto-char (point-min))
       (let ((s '(1 1 3 2 3 2 3 2 2 3 2 3 2 2 3 2 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1
2 1 2 1 2 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 2 3 2 3 2 2 1 1 1 1 )))
         (while s
            (re-search-forward "\\(<td[^<>\n]*>\\)\\([^\n<>]*</td>\
\)")
            (replace-match (format "\\1<!%s-%d%s->\\2" "-" (car s)
"-"))
            (setq s (cdr s)))
         (or (looking-at "</tr>") (error "Foo")))))
