The NY Times offere a great iPhone (or iPod Touch) trick in their Tip of the Week: Easier iPhone Zooming:
While the iPhone’s Safari Web browser can bring the full versions of most sites right to the palm of your hand, it can be a pain to pinch and spread your fingers all over the screen to make the tiny text legible. To zoom in more efficiently, just tap twice on a column or section of text to zoom in and tap twice again to zoom back out.
Unable to resist the temptation, I grabbed my iPod Touch and tried it out. Success! I thought I would share the tip and add some value of my own. Here are some before and after screen shots using the web site from my local paper, the Chapel Hill News.
iPhone Browser Screen
After tapping twice on the left column, the screen conveniently zooms in to column width. This is an idea that someone out to implement as a Firefox plugin. Seriously. [More on this idea tomorrow.]

P.S. Taking screen shots on the iPhone is surprisingly easy. Just click on the sleep button while holding the home button down. You will hear the shutter sound and the screen shot appears in your saved photos folder.
