Use SVG to create interactive maps for iPhon

    Well, you cannot make an interactive map for iPhon using Silverlight, Java, or Flash technologies, and all you have to do is use JavaScript. Or maybe not. Perhaps the SVG ray at the end of the tunnel to create mapping services for iPhon? IPhone 2G seems to support SVG is not so bad, it’s a pity that many SVG sites are not optimized for iPhone. Take ESRI's abandoned (!?) SVG viewer, for example :

    It loads, you can easily turn widgets on and off, but control is not possible. It will probably be healthy if ESRI makes its ArcGIS Server SVG API compatible with iPhon, then any implementation of ArcGIS server will be viewed on iPhon's source
