Any ideas?

The iPhone 4 screen is a retina display. This means that effectively the screen is 320px wide because it displays 2 pixels in the same space as 1 pixel on a non-retina display. So in an app you would display a 640px wide image in a 320px width on an iPhone 4 compared to a 320px wide image in a 320px width on an iPhone 3 or an iPad.
Safari must be displaying the source image as a non retina image and thus taking up double the width you are expecting.
