One of Apple's recent software revisions (1.1.3 from January 2008) allows you to add a clip in the form of an icon of your favorite Web site to your iPhone’s Home Screen. Simply tap the thumbnail to launch Safari and be lead to the page you’ve saved.

Here's how save a Web Clip:

  •  In Safari, navigate to the URL you'd like to save on your Home Screen
  •  Press the "+" at the bottom of the screen. You have 3 options - Add Bookmark, add to Home Screen, and Mail Link to this Page (see image).
  •  Click "Add to Home Screen"
  •  You can now name the web icon. When finished, touch "Add"
  •  The web icon will be added to your Home Screen

    • (To remove the icon, touch any thumbnail or icon on the Home Screen until all of the thumbnails begin to "wiggle." Then tap the red "X" at the top left corner of the thumbnail and hit the Home button.)
