I’ve created a new development repository on Google Code. I wanted to have a separate development environment for people to work on the library without having to work off of the entire CNET Javascript framework repository. I’ll be posting CiUI-only releases there before merging them with Clientside’s repository.
You can also file CiUI specific bugs and feature requests on there. If you’re interested in joining in the development, please come discuss your ideas to our Google group.

Given how the iPhone’s growth has made some ripples in the world of mobile browsing, we here at CNET decided to spend a little time and make an iPhone friendly version of our sites. At first I (Vladimir Olexa) considered the excellent iUI from Joe Hewitt but eventually decided to write our own.
The result is CiUI (CNET iPhone UI) that mimics iPhone UI behavior. It’s already being used on CNET’s iPhone page (http://iphone.cnet.com). It’s been greatly inspired by iUI with a few key differences:
1. AJAX calls are performed after a page slides
2. DOM doesn’t get overloaded with “pages” as they load. Instead, two DIVs are constantly being reused
3. Page titles are set on the source page, not on the destination page
4. Only specified “a” tags are assumed a part of the UI
