We've been playing with this today, and it's a very good start, thanks Jesse.  
I know my colleague Dave has already sent you a patch.

My only criticisms of it so far are these:

1)  On Safari on my iOS4 iPhone, it often seems to get the width of the display 
wrong when showing search results.  Interestingly when setting Safari on my Mac 
to pretend to be Safari for iPhone, it doesn't make the same mistake.  This may 
of course be a bug in Safari on iOS4.

2)  In my opinion (and others in the office thought so too), there's a lot of 
wasted screen real-estate; some of the fonts are too large, and there is a lot 
of padding around stuff which spaces everything out too much and reduces the 
amount I can see on screen.  For example, the main home page has so much 
padding around each item that it doesn't all fit on my iPhone's screen.  The 
same goes for the pretty rounded corner eye candy too; it tends to force you to 
use even more padding around text to make it look decent.

I'm not really a CSS expert (that is to say, at all), but I've been messing 
about with this a bit today and have trimmed a lot of the whitespace out.  It's 
caused a couple of minor glitches, and I'm sure it isn't as pretty, but it's 
achieved my main aim, which is to increase the amount of real information I can 
read on the iPhone's screen without having to scroll.  I can send you the patch 
if you want, although I'm probably making heinous mistakes.  At the end of the 
day, RT for me is about getting at the information I need - while being pretty 
is nice, it's secondary to being able to see the required information.

Just my 2ยข...

Regards,

Tim
