A few months ago I was involved in a discussion on the CSS Tricks forum, where a fellow developer had built some non-responsive website applications. The required minimum layout width was 960px, expanding wider when more space was available, but the min-width had caused issues on iPad where the initial view was zoomed in on its 768 x 1024px screen.
