The 1.1.3 iPhone (and iPodTouch) firmware give you the ability to add a “webclip” from Safari to your home screen. If you view this site from your iPhone/iPod Touch (with firmware 1.1.3), and bookmark it, you’ll see the icon that I created.
Some tips on creating your own icon:
For maximum “crispness” make your icon 158 x 158 pixels. The home screen will scale it down.
Name your file “apple-touch-icon.png” and put it in the root of your web site. (Ex. http://www.yoursite.com/apple-touch-icon.png)
For maximum compatibility, add this to your (X)HTML header:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png" type="image/png" />
Apple has official documentation here. Click the second-to-last link that says “Create a WebClip Bookmark Icon.”

Can you tell me why apps. summerboard and customize are not working in 1.1.3? Is there any possibilty to make them run correctly like in 1.1.2
I have updated my ipod touch to 1.1.3. after i jailbroke it in 1.1.1. Now summerboard and customize are not working. Is there any possibility to solve that problem.
Bobby: I have never performed the jailbreak method on my iPhone. I am in no way affiliated with Apple nor any of the jailbreak hackers. I am just a guy on the Internet, and I figured that I would share my experience creating Custom WebClip icons. Sorry that I can not be of more help, and thanks for reading my site and leaving a comment.
