The answer is simple: Fluid. Fluid is an app to create instances of Webkit to use as a wrapper for web applications. This by itself is very useful. But if you combine two features of Fluid you can have all your favorite iPhone Web Apps as a menu bar item on your mac!

My favorite menu bar items are now Hahlo, Brightkite and a Dutch TV Guide.

First; download Fluid. Second; watch the screen cast I made to create Google Mobile in your menu bar.


View in High-Res: Google Mobile as Menu bar item using Fluid.

Don’t have a clue where to find iPhone Web Apps? Apple has a nice directory to start with: Apple Web Apps.
