I think it would be very nice for apple to create a javascript type
effects library (basically like mootools or something similar), but
have them implement it so that it works using core animation (so it is
smooth). Basically, so you can be like
<a href="#" onclick="iphoneSlideUp('divToSlide')">slide div up</a>
And the iPhone has a built in function for "iphoneSlideUp" and it can
do a very smooth transition.
I would really like that for all sorts of different effects (slides,
fades, etc). Also, I would really like it if you could put something
in the head that basically means "do not allow this page to
rotate" (as some web apps developed specifically for the iphone are
designed only for portrait mode and do not look very good in landscape
mode).
