Have you tried setting the viewport to fit the iphone screen size?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=320" />
see more details at: constrain-your-viewport-for-iphone-web-development
Also see developer.apple.com for other factors regarding iPhone web development (such as Adjust Text Size for Readability)

If you are a CSS expert, your first thought will be to use the "handheld" media type in your CSS code. For instance, if a browser considers itself a handheld device, this code will hide all elements that belong to the navigation CSS class. That's handy if you know that these elements are convenient but redundant and take up more space than a handheld user wants to give up:
@media handheld { .navigation { display: none; } }Unfortunately this won't work on the iPhone. Why? Because Apple knows that the iPhone can display a page much better than most handhelds. And they didn't want the iPhone to display all web pages in a "dumbed-down" way. So the iPhone looks at the "screen" media type, just like your desktop browser does.
Is there an alternative? Yes! You can specify that a set of CSS rules apply only when the screen is smaller than a certain resolution:
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { .navigation { display: none; } }
