If we're talking about XUL running on a phone, sure. But the web page rendered by the browser may still not get the physical viewport size. In practice context will be provide a switch i.e. if you're writing a web app that runs offline and launches from its own icon on a device, you want and will get a physical viewport size. If it's a web page, you may never know because the browser can lie to you.Received on Wednesday, 30 June 2010 17:18:10 UTC
