You know what I really like? I mean really? I like iPhone-optimized websites. Often lately, I will find myself browsing a website on my laptop and wish that it could have the simplicity of its iPhone sibling, but with the features that I like best about browsing on the desktop: speed and resolution.

It’s a tricky problem though, for a designer. If you’re going to design a very simple, iPhone-like app for the desktop, what do you do with all that space? It seems like there are a couple of options:

1. Really big (and I mean really big) text
2. Lots of white space

I’m trying to think of websites that achieve this kind of simplicity and look really good and I’m coming up short, especially when I try to think of sites that have a lot of content (as opposed to web-based tools or apps). The new delicious redesign is pretty good, but still gets a bit busy with all the navigation up top. Muxtape was pretty and simple. That’s about all I’m coming up with off the top of my head, and both of those are web-based apps/tools. I can’t think of a single content site that achieves that kind of mobile simplicity while taking advantage of being on the desktop. Do you know of any? Please post suggestions/links in the comments…
