Safari browser and new iPHONE
Doesn anyone know where I can find information on using WebFOCUS with a Safari browser?

And has anyone tried using an iPHONE to access a WebFOCUS dashboard reporting yet?

I dont have an iPhone, but if the safari on the iPhone is a "full browser" then you should be good. There are a list of things that you can not do in safari on apple's developer site.

onMouseOver and onMouseOut onMouseMove events do not work.
so as long as the dashboard does not use any of these, then it should be good

Last I checked, IB recommended the use of FireFox on the MAC as opposed to Safari. The reasoning was that Safari didn't support Ajax and Bindows technology.

Quite a few blogs existed citing that the limitation was being worked on by Apple. I haven't checked lately to see whether or not newer versions existed that would resolve those issues.

safari does support AJAX and so does the iPhone. Bindows technology I dont know about

Don't know about iPhone (we in Europe don't have it yet), but I support Safari for a self-service app, including maintain (not Update assist, that has issues) and AJAX, with great success.
