If I am currently connected to the internet via wi-fi and am viewing a webpage on the iPhone, can I save that webpage to the hard-drive to view at a later time when I do not have access to wi-fi?

Thank you.

wasnt aware of the iphone having a hard drive, if it did it would be sweet, im sure an 80GB 1.8" drive would be ok even if the iphone was a little larger

So, is the 4 GB or 8 GB storage only to be used for music/video? We can't save webpages for later viewing?

No one knows if you can manually save a site to the flash. Seems doubtful. Apple doesn't seem to want to position this as a real PDA, but more of a smart phone.

Apparently you can have up to 8 pages open at one time. (See the latest demos at apple.com, for example.) So in theory you should be able to open a site, then open another browser window to continue elsewhere... saving the original for later viewing.

Of course, the website should make sure the caching headers are set correctly.

I don't have an iPhone yet. My question was simply hypothetical. As a commuter, I'd love to be able to save webpages for viewing on the vanpool.
 
Not if you read it as a hypothetical question, which is what it is worded as.

Edit: Strange, the post I was replying to vanished
 
Appologies.I thought you said you were using the iPhone.

Didn't read the "if" part.


feeling kinda dumb now..
 
Key word of my original post being IF. I intended the question as a hypothetical. Sorry if I came off claiming that I had one. If I did have one, I obviously could have found out the answer for myself.
