Home Screen Web Apps Zoom In iOS 5 - Apple Adds Support For JavaScript Nitro

In iOS 5, Apple has given the Web.app a boost.
Previously, this built-in application (which runs Home screen Web apps, and is not to be confused with Safari) wasn't powered by the Nitro JavaScript (unlike the Safari.app). This meant that Web apps installed on the Home screen didn't run all that fast.
However, this issue has been corrected: In iOS 5, Nitro is enabled in the Web.app. Obviously, this means that Web apps will run blazingly fast once iOS 5 rolls out, which is good news for us all.
