This is a good article about developing iPhone-specific websites, but it has been framed in a very odd way. The title and introduction seem to be misdirecting attention away from the focus of the article and encouraging a dichotomy that I don’t think exists.
For example, people aren’t using media queries (and fluid grids and flexible images) to create platform-specific versions of their sites; they’re using them to create layouts that can adapt to many screen sizes on many devices …not just the iPhone.
It’s a shame because, as I said, I think this is a good article about a specific topic. I don’t understand why it has been artificially broadened with references to a separate, wider topic (the straw man about display: none seems especially weird).
And now, instead of responding to the content of the article, I find myself responding to its framing. Sorry.
