Hmm, interesting. I guess, now it's Joe's chance to elevate Firebug yet again :-)

This is just a rehash of a bunch of posts from two years that compared the iPhone to IE4.

Anything that's not covered in the SDK documentation is off-limits, even if Apple themselves are using the calls in their own apps. This is what the Whole Joe Hewitt / Three20 debacle was about: http://joehewitt.com/post/the-three20-project/
Web API calls are mostly a 17+ rating problem: if you load anything over the web that could potentially be 17+ you have a problem.

I rarely can complain about this on my iPhone 3G, but if one is to believe Joe Hewitt (and why one shouldn't?), then it is indeed instant on 3GS:
