"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

What Maria said.

The built-in safari is great for most websites, but I do use Diigo Browser to save some websites to read later offline (I have a wifi only ipad).

BTW, here is a new kickstarter project where you can use an external drive, connect it to this wifi unit and then you can access the files on the external drive with an ipad or other device capable of connecting to a wifi network.

I haven't decided whether I will get it or not, since I'm happy with my Airstash, but maybe?

It's not that she's going to the wrong websites, it's that Flash for mobile is going to disappear eventually.

Have I noticed that Flash isn't working on certain websites? Yes. Does it drive me nuts? No. 98% of what I do and the sites I surf on the iPad don't involve Flash.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Have any of you iPad users tried the Dolphin browser? I think it's one of the most popular on Android, and I'm wondering if it's cool on iOS too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

it's okay. I am not quite sure why it so popular. I suppose it is because of the gestures, but since I use bookmarks so much, I would prefer an interface that allows me quick easy access to bookmarks then gestures.

I use it on my phone but not my tablet. Never used a gesture on it, though. The Honeycomb default browser is pretty nifty.

I use the Terra browser on my iPad.

I'm testing the HTC browser on my phone, then I will probably download a third-party application.

I just use Safari.

tiggy, Flipboard has just (since last we talked about it, anyway) added tumblr. I don't know if it's any good.

Oh, that's crap usability design. Real crap.

Speaking of missing the point, Time Warner has wi fi spots opening up around LA, and most of the Android browsers I have don't work with their validation page--it's only Firefox, if memory serves. And even then, it's pretty clunky. I have to copy and paste my password in from somewhere else. Dude, it's a Wifi hotspot. You're pretty damned likely to get Android browsers, no? No?
