Best Answer

Safari's window (like most Mac software) does not cover the full screen area because that is how a multitasking windowing system is meant to work. Some users of Microsoft's badly designed and implemented Windows operating system find this unusual as they have become accustomed to running applications in a window and that window occupying all the screen. The Glims plug-in for Safari (See links below) adds a full screen option to the Safari menu for those that feel the need.

Can you view regular websites on Apple iPhone or just mobile websites?

The iPhone comes with the Safari web browser, you can view websites just like you are acustomed to on a regular computer. Most sites will be too small to read but you can simply touch the screen to zoom in on sections of a web page. Safari is Apple's web browser, much like Internet Explorer is Microsoft's web browser. mobile Safari (the version of Safari included on the iPhone) does not support all browser plugins at this time, so some webpages may not display properly if they utilize certain technologies (like Flash or Java) extensively.
