I hate browser sniffing...
Why can't i use this on the desktop? This version seems much better than the current iGoogle page, especially with this line:
>As far as compatibility goes, the newer iteration of the service handles Ajax better, meaning you can get updates from specific widgets without refreshing the entire page.
I hate the full-page refreshing in iGoogle, it is the only thing i hate about it, why can't they ditch that already?
Every time i see the CPU usage hit 80+%, i always know it is iGoogle refreshing. (dualcore 1.7gig)

I wonder if that person has finished his extension for changing headers in Chrome, that'd be pretty useful right about now.
I'd much rather have iGoogle sitting at the left in a sidebar, nice quick access.

1. Does not accept local ZIP code for weather
2. Tries to use Flash for YouTube (should just have used iPhone's Youtube widget).
3. Does not switch to Landscape mode.
