Features of the iPad are really promising which then halts a question: Is it enough to let go of the bulky laptops and the cumbersome desktops? Is mobile Safari adequate enough to perform day to day online business tasks? Can mobile Safari maintain browsing and identity security without the presence of antimalwares?

Web navigation has never been made easy since the iPad. It lets you navigate pages from top to bottom at full screen with landscape and portrait options. iPad’s Safari has many unique features: It has thumbnails that displays all open pages in a grid, granting you to change pages instantly or scan along web history to return to a desired page. Also, it has been developed to be compatible with a PC or a MAC in synching web bookmarks, or importing it inversely from the iPad. Safari does include top web search engines such as Yahoo! and Google for a more intelligent browsing experience. Safari is created under HTML5 syntaxes and can be capable of rendering any advanced media that the web distributes, only except Flash. From High Definition web videos, online movies, and podcasts, with Safari, these videos can be experienced at quality playback. An aiding tool with web researching is the suggestions bar that pops smart web search suggestions.

Noting that the iPad runs internet connectivity on a wireless access, Safari isn’t compromised to lack the speed. The iPad has the technology of wireless connection drafted at 802.11n, the highest and fastest connection in Wi-Fi Technology, making Safari run wild with streaming media contents. Video and audio streaming can be displayed at a more heightened speed close to a real-time data transmission. But on the negative note, hot spots aren’t just about anywhere – Apple anticipated that, giving the device an alternative way to connect online, and that is made possible by 3G Networking (3G Subscription needed).

Browsing the internet substantially is not just about the liberty of surfing, but also about security. The mobile Safari has a preference which can be alerted with fraud warnings. As with other browsers, you can block pop-ups and start or terminate Java-scripting. Web browsing is limited to 9 simultaneous tabs which can be switched laterally.

The easiness starts with just a point of a finger action, such as up and down scrolling, zooming in and out, like that of a typical mouse. Taps, drags and other finger-gestures are the directives of the page navigation substituting a mouse or a stylus. In addition to the positivities that the iPad has, is fast page loading and un-stuttering video and audio streams, all attributed to the overall power of the systems processor and graphic mainframe. With relevant features, mobile Safari is brought much closer to its MAC equivalent.

What kills the iPad in some way is its lack of Flash support making lots of websites render incompletely, as well as with unplayable videos. Depending on one’s browsing habits, if it requires more flash from page to page, then iPad will just annoy you. In the coming months, pretty sure, Apple will come up with an answer to that.
