Apple iPhone and iPod touch in Singapore are at the point where every working adult could fork out ~$300 to get an IPhone with Singtel plan or IPod touch. It's very interesting to own one IPod touch and suddenly realize the guy sit next to you on the bus is using one too.
I like to save my frequently visited website on my iPod touch home screen for easy access. And every time I wonder why some website appear as a nice rounded corner icon looks like its logo and some website is not.
After a while I figured out what it takes to get that little icon out
- Create an png image call apple-touch-icon.png
- Place this image at the root folder of website. E.g for http://techsailor.com, it will be at http://techsailor.com/apple-touch-icon.png
- Verify by browsing your website from iPod touch, click the plus button '+' at the bottom panel of Safari Browser, click 'Add to Home Screen', wait for 2s and you will be able to see the icon you have just uploaded.
If you are not sure how it work, try to bookmark http://techsailor.com, you should be able to see an icon like the screen shots below





- Be happy and tell your friends to bookmark your site on iPod Touch / iPhone
