By Heinz Tschabitscher, About.com

The iPhone's relatively big screen is still a small screen by many a measure. Text is legible — in particular if you have set a minimum font size — and images discernible, but sometimes bigger would be better.

Fortunately, you can zoom in at a finger's tap; not only in Safari but also into your emails in iPhone Mail.
