Something to keep in mind is that we are building a page specifically for the iPhone or iTouch.
I don't know about you guys, but when I make a website I actually make a website and want it to work in any browser. If you need a custom, alternative or lighter layout for mobile devices, this is what you have CSS and the media-attribute for.
Ignoring this for a second, the linked article also seems to have no way of handling future iPhones, iPods or alternate mobile devices with higher resolution. It consistently uses fixed-size images for layout and doesn't leave the browser any way to work beyond that.
So even if you are making a site targeting the iPod or iPhone specifically or just want a Appleish theme, this thing is as far from future-proof and flexible as you can get.
If I could downvote articles on hacker news, I would downvote this one in an instant.
