hi Stefan, I think original idea of iUI was to be small, simple and fast way to built UI that is similiar to native apps even by not experienced users, so one can either hardcode all those lists, setting panel and serach form + detail page or output them from web server and that's everything required to put content on web, Simple subclassing is possible (as in Digg sample) where new design/ element change in html code should be reflected with custom .CSS added which modify default iui.css for given, unique "screen", More experienced people can use iUI as base (proof of concept) for their custom solution without having to read/check Apple iPhone specs on ADN network,
