bookmark and add to my homescreen 60x60 icon does not apprear. Make 

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="images/iphone.png"/>

Size: 60x60 pixels. tried 8bit and 24bit ping! Does not work. Site is on a localhost and not 'online'.

on http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport if I bookmark and add to my homescreen it works! Why? They use: <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/sol/shared/img/iphone-sport.png"/>

Any help appreciated

For Android to pick up the icon you need a precomposed icon 

<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png"/>
