When you’re using the regular version of Safari that runs on your Macintosh (or Windows-based PC), setting a particular site as your home page is as simple as going to the General tab in System Preferences and typing in an address. You can’t do that on the iPhone, but you can use this work-around: Add your would-be home page to your bookmarks list, and then move it to the top of the list. Yes, it requires an extra tap — first on the Bookmarks icon and then on the bookmark itself — but it will get you to your favorite Web page with a minimum of fuss.

Wow.. Is Apple really this slow in approving apps? I would think it would be faster than this for resubmissions.
Thanks for your work!
