THe "wiggle" icons are not part of safari and are part of the regular  
system of programs. So it's not AJAX thats wiggling things. THough you  
could certainly do something like that in javascript if you really  
wanted to. It wouldn't be quite as nice as I dont believe you can  
easily rotate things like they do, but you could make them bounce  
around a bit.

But the springboard or whatever they call it is a native app, like the  
finder for the iPhone, not part of the browser.

Thanks,
