It's god to be able to play it on the iPod as well. Interesting that it’s possible to do so. It’s god to be able to play it on the iPod as well.

It's a little odd, but it seems to work! I should add that as a note. I would like to see support, or perhaps a mode, for accessing the full range of events in JS - mousedown/move/up and so on. Where they'll need to be careful I think is in interfering with the iPhone's native browsing UI. It sounds like having the full set of mouse events (minus hover I guess), would be pretty cool.

It takes about 10 seconds for the ball to go from paddle to wall and back. Sloooowwww. But the work-around to get the controls working in an interesting one. I have a feeling that unless Apple suddenly announces a Drag'n'drop API for the iphone safari, we'll see a lot of select something and click where you want it to go type interfaces.
