** Resizable text areas: Web designers developing pages for Safari will no longer have to fiddle with TEXTAREA form elements in order to satisfy user requirements, while at the same time maintaining some semblence of good page design; enables a "resize" corner that allows users to resize text fields on a web page in real time, to suit their text-editing needs.

* Challenges:
* Challenges:  
** Safari is optimized for Macs; it will take time for Safari for Windows to stabilize and catch up to the other Windows browsers
** Window’s-based malware and security issues
** Mobile developers were disappointed about not having the ability to design native apps (no Software Development Kit, but devs can create Web 2.0 apps that run w/in iPhone’s version of Safari using tools like Ajax); opening up 3rd-party development threatens security and reliability of phone
** More resources needed to support more platforms
