These are really limitations with Safari rather than the iPad itself. Third party browsers like iCab and Atomic Web are far more feature rich. |
Partially Apple's fault. Here's an example user agent that the iPad uses:
Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B367 Safari/531.21.10
While the word "Mobile" is probably triggering use of the mobile version on some websites, it's possible to make an exception if the word "iPad" is found in the user agent. Still, there are reasons other than screen size where a mobile version of the site is preferable. For example, if the main website primarily uses Flash or if the site uses complex scripts that the iPad's browser doesn't handle all that well.
