We’ve got a WebClip icon! If you’ve got an iPhone, can you try it out and see if it works? You should see this:

Works fine! There’s slightly more white space at the top than the bottom, but with the iPhone overlaid highlights that looks about right IMHO.

Ewan,

What’s it supposed to do? I’m on iPhone in gym. See icon, click, and end up on Flick.

@Greg: It’s an icon that the iPhone picks up from the site and uses as the icon for a bookmark that’s been placed on the iPhone’s homescreen. It’s similar, but larger to the favicon that you can see in normal browser bookmarks or next to the URL bar. If there’s not one present the iPhone creates one from a snapshot of the page, but these are next to no use…
