Better Webclip Icons for 1.1.3 iPhones and iPod

Filed under: iPod Family, Hacks, iPhone Soon after Steve Jobs announced the new 1.1.3, Emil Hedaya realized that a simple meta-refreseh redirect would allow him to create custom icons for any webclip. All you need is a website of your own. You link to your custom pages and have them redirect you to the sites in question.
