Approximated from Apple documentation...

Screen Dimensions
• Raw - 320 x 480

• Safari with normal chrome
    • Portrait - 320 x 416
    • Landscape - 480 x 256

• Safari with maximum chrome
    • Portrait - 320 x 356
    • Landscape - 480 x 196

• Further reduced when keyboard is shown
    • Tab index on form elements is important

I think there is a facility to upload photos to a .mac account  
through one of the custom apps. Emailing photos should work like on a  
normal device, so there is the possibility to add a link to the email  
application inside the WordPress iPhone plugin where you could send  
an email with the photos you want to upload attached. The link could  
inject a special subject into the email so that it sent the photos  
directly to the upload folder in the given WordPress installation, an  
ajaxy refresh of the file picker in the post authoring page would  
allow the new file to be used without a page refresh.

This would require a modified post by email functionality.

Does that make sense?
