Just for the record ipod touch (which problably means iphone too) runs sagenb.org without any problems. I must say really don't support apple's policies and was planning on switching to android-based solutions so hopefully those log-in glitches get fixed. Iphone has the same problem that its onscreen keyboard has no tab key (so maybe adding it explicitly just like evaluate might be a good idea).
