I was going to make the same comment as Peter but you’re also correct, Drew.
Having these tips (but remembering Simon’s caveat) is useful and saves research. Indeed, with 22% of the mobile market (StatCounter), designers and developers should know about this platform.
I think the point Peter was trying to make is that it could have been clearer that the article is aimed primarily at iPhone/iPod Touch developers. Either that, or supplement the valuable advice that’s already there with non-iOS-specific information. For example, background images overridden with media queries are not loaded in some browsers – Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Firefox (desktop at least, not sure about mobile).
