Status bar styles for iPhone web apps

To change the status bar, the short bar with the time and carrier information, style for full screen web apps, place the following code in the
<head>tag:<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black" />
Possible options include
default,black, andblack-translucent, which overlays the black strip on top of your content.Note that using
black-translucentchanges the viewable height of the page and should be accommodated for in your CSS.Pretty cool, but I’m wondering if developing a native app would be better… The later can provide (maybe) a faster speed and can be used anytime without Internet, though a web app can really save the time of development (if you can’t code Cocoa.)
