iPhone 1.1.3 Tips - Speed Dial Shortcut using WebClip Feature

iPhone 1.1.3 firmware allows you to put icons on your home screen for websites, but many of us want to put phone numbers on there for a Speed Dial screen. iPhone developer, Nate True put a little hack together that lets you have a (somewhat) speedy speed dial icon. There's no jailbreaking required for this one - it can all be done using Apple-approved Web Clip creation.

Along the same lines as that WebClips-based homescreen picture album hack, Nate True has come up with a solution that will put speed-dial thumbnail icons on your homescreen. The hack will take a bit of webpage-coding know-how (or just some instruction-following know-how), and a web server that you can use.

The instructions involved putting a script on a webpage that, when clicked, will prompt the iPhone to dial the embedded phone number. You then turn that webpage into a WebClip (with the appropriate picture) and you’ll have image-based speed-dial right on your iPhone’s homescreen.
