iOS7 - The Return Of The Splash Screen

Spoiler: code and examples showed or used in this post are meant to be working, for demo purpose, on iOS7 iPod or iPhone only. One day I might improve the demo in order to work the same in other browsers too. If you haven't read yet this great post from @firt entitled Safari on iOS 7 and HTML5: problems, changes and new APIs you probably should before you can understand what is this about ... done? Great! Some Clarification Maximiliano took mobile twitter to show what happens when you visit a webpage in landscape mode where no previous, well known and tested, iOS trick would make it in order to have a better, full screen resolution. However, problems are the same in the portrait mode: there's no way, if you use any overflow: auto; or touch in your page, to see the magic morph happening in the surrounding Safari Mobile UI. On top of this, when you apply or pay for Apple Beta Testing or Developer, you are under an NDA/EULA you can hardly report problems even to Apple itself...
