Hi in Lugano: The simulator and the device pinch-zoom. The default zoom depends on many factors. Some PDF's look great when they first load in iOS, some look tiny without zooming. Experiment a little with different documents and see how they look. Answer: YES, the phone allows easy pinch-zoom, the simulator does too by holding down the Option key and clicking.

Hello, I have a word doc, which I want to display in an iphone and ipad app. The content is geared towards those 50+ so the writing by default must be normal-big ;) Its a universal app for iphone & ipad. THe text is fine in the ipad. Waaayyy too small in the iphone. Is there anyway one doc will somehow work in both devices and display ok? I'll try a PDF now as well but suspect the width will make text too small to read on an iphone. I could do 2 apps - iphone and also ipad but then would i need two different app names on itunes? thx!

Hmm...not sure how to do 'conditional content' (iphone / ipad) but really like the idea. Maybe we could add a zoom-level default for small / large devices? I'll look into this. Nudge this in a few day if you dont' see any remarks.

Thx. Even just like the splash images, having a large device doc and small device docwould be perfect. Zoom sounds very fancy :) thanks David.
