Pulled in this interesting link from our Twitter feed - it's an iPhone rendered in pure CSS3. What is CSS3, you ask? It's the next iteration of style sheets that focuses on high functionality without a lot of extra code or data-guzzling plug-ins. It's not a "working" iPhone, it's merely a simulacrum, but it is very neat.
So, why should you care? Because what used to take a lot of heavy Flash animation and lots and lots of time will now be easily rendered with simple styles. Imagine creating new applications for your website that would interact not only with a user's mouse, but with their fingertips as well. Many browsers are already showing everything CSS3 can do and even some of the older ones are updating and upgrading to bring everyone in on the fun.
A treat for the senses that actually informs? That's every Internet user's dream. Things like this are showing us just how far we can go.
