and it will function like: Call Me
Open Map Links
If you want to open Google Maps to an address, use this code:
<a href = 'http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1+Infinite+Loop,+Cupertino,+CA+95014'" target="_self">Apple Location</a>

Apple Location
Add Audio/QT
You can add an .mp3 or QT movie too. Remember, iPhone Safari doesn't render Flash, so use an .mp3 file in this manner:

and it will function like like:
Listen To Audio
Audio Tip: Decreasing the file size of .mps'3 helps your users by decreasing download time. Using QuickTime to Export your file to ACC, 32 rate will produce a much smaller .mov file of your mp3.
