Less than a week after a representative for Orange in Poland revealed that actors were paid to stand in line the night the iPhone launched there, another kerfuffle has arisen over Apple-related marketing, this time in the UK. The UK's Advertising Standards Authority has pulled an iPhone commercial after it received complaints from two viewers that the ad was misleading. "[Apple is] having two issues -- one probably more important than the other," said Mary Beth Kemp, a Forrester Research analyst.
The iphone can navigate to all parts of the internet if the pages and standards compliant and use alternate content when a plugin is not available, you may not get all the functionality the site can offer but a good designer should ALWAYS follow web standards and make the site as accessible as possible to all user, especially if one would like high search engine placement as a search engine cannot see pictures and such only text which is how google determines page rank and such so really if web designers would follow web standards then the iphone would be able to access all parts of the internet
