I’ve been assuming that readers of this blog probably know things like this already, but maybe not. Did you know the WBfS60 (the
marketing guys are probably going to come after me for that sobriquet)
supports the file scheme? That is, if you create a folder called "web"
on your phone’s memory card, and put an html file named "foo.html" in
it, you can choose Go To Address in the browser, enter e:/web/foo.html
and your internal-to-the-phone web page appears. Not the most useful
thing in the world, but it can be handy.

So this means we can create custom home pages, or even use javascript so we can give have some sort of teeny application built into the browser! I really need to start checking out the whitepapers and start finding a Symbian developer.
