Normally the iPhone can make a good stab at eliminating typos, because it knows which letters are likely to come next in a word. But that all flies out of the window with URLs. I reckon I probably get a 90 - 95% accuracy rate when typing URLs, and that's enough to be annoying. The other problem area is cascading CSS navigation. It's impossible to use some times with a touch screen. I really wish you could switch into a mode with a clickable mouse/cursor, a bit like how the lastest BlackBerry browser. P.

And that's assuming he can be annoyed typing in web addresses with the iPhone...
