Came across the coolest trick for the iPhone today - basically a way to use the new Web Clip feature in the latest firmware to have speed-dial icons on the home screen. There actually looks to be two different approaches - the one as described in the body of the post actually isn’t the method I’m using. Scroll down to the comments and check out the contribution from “xfrosh”. Simply download his script (”Save link as…” or similar) and follow the instructions in his comments.

I’m a little apprehensive about referring to it as a “hack”, as that implies you need to jailbreak your phone to do this. Refreshingly, it’s just a bookmarklet that tricks Mobile Safari on the iPhone to dial the number. No risk of bricking or voiding your warranty!

I’ve just started playing around with it, so I’ll post a screenshot when there’s something decent to look at.
