IPhone app that isn't

Odd that they'd approve this as an app. Here's the code for free:<p><a href="http://www.lifeclever.com/17-powerful-bookmarklets-for-your-iphone/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lifeclever.com/17-powerful-bookmarklets-for-your-...</a><p><a href="http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2009/07/22/iphone-pro-tips-find-text-safari-javascript-bookmarklet/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2009/07/22/iphone-pro-tips-find...</a>

Here's another list of free bookmarklets, including find in page, various translators, and view page source (haven't tried them myself):<p><a href="http://ipuhelin.com/en/safariplus/" rel="nofollow">http://ipuhelin.com/en/safariplus/</a>

The real issue is that it's not possible in Mobile Safari to bookmark a traditional &#60;a href="javascript:..."&#62;Bookmarklet&#60;/a&#62; link -- unlike a normal <a href="http://" rel="nofollow">http://</a> link you can't even copy it -- the only option you get from a hold-tap is "Open".<p>Try bookmarking the "post to News.YC" bookmarklet from your iPhone -- you can't!

There are plenty of iPhone apps out there that aren't really apps at all, but just content of one kind or another-books, recipes, music. The beauty of the App Store is that content that could never be monetized on the open web now can be, and creators who could never make money from anything other than advertising can now make some money. This is a good thing, people.<p>Look at this thing, it's beautiful. It has a UI, for Pete's sakes! Beats the hell out of every other find-in-page bookmarklet I've tried in Mobile Safari. They've all been atrocities. 99 cents? I'm buying it.

This headline is terrible by the way. The original headline at Mobile Orchard is much better.

I just bought it and replaced my crummy old Find in Page bookmarklet in Mobile Safari with it, then gave it a test-drive.<p>It's GREAT! Exactly what I always wished for. Thank you vais for creating this!

I'm particularly irritated with the distasteful attitude the author took when he was mad a couple of hacker news readers didn't think it was fair to charge $0.99 for this.

Nice, though I switched to using the faster and more capable iCab ages ago. Have even replaced Safari as the system default browser with it.
