I recommend it to all those developers that are stuck in a Windows environment - I have already fixed a few bugs I would have had to use my bosses Mac to >find! My only concern is that at the moment, I can get away with "It might not look 100% in Safari, but it still works..." With Safari on Iphone, something which is >almost guaranteed to be a raging success, I'm pretty sure I wont be able to use that defense forever.

I bought a second-hand Mac G4 from a friend last year so I could test with Mac browsers.

On most things I checked I did not see much difference in the rendering of pages in Safari compared to Firefox... I normally have much more trouble with IE.

iPhone might be a different thing altogether ..
just because a page renders nicely in Safari on a desktop machine doesn't necessarely mean it is going to be very usable on a tiny screen! (I haven't yet seen an iPhone but I assume the screen would be small like a mobile phone screen...?)

Speaking of Mac browsers -
a friend called me on the weekend and said he can't find anything newer than IE5 for OS9 but won't upgrade to OSX because it would be way too slow on his G3. (and he doesn't have the money to buy a new machine) now that is something to think about!
