iPhone fullscreen web apps

Along with the iPhone sdk, apple has also added some updates for web developers, including the ability to create iPhone web apps in dashcode and ability to run web apps in full screen mode. To get full screen mode working all you need to do is add the html

<meta name="'apple-touch-fullscreen'" content="YES">

to the head of your web page. This sounds great but does not appear to be working yet. I tested this in both the iPhone simulator "Aspen" and directly on the iPhone itself. I also would have thought this to be an option on the dashcode page attributes, but it isn't, atleast for now. Also, the css animation effects don't appear to be working on the iPhone but those do work in the simulator. This most likely won't be available until the release of the iPhone 2.0 software.
