iPad Safari on iPhone 3.2 SDK Simulator Walkthrough
9to5Mac has posted up a walkthrough of the iPad’s version of the Safari web browser, running on the iPhone 3.2 SDK’s simulator. Instead of sliding in new screens, iPad Safari uses Apple’s new popover menus to handle bookmarks, search, and other UI tasks.
We have to admit, it’s looking great to us and we can’t wait to get our geeky, multi-touchy hands on the real thing.
Video after the break!

I’m really starting to get excited about the iPad. At first I was totally against it, but now it’s starting to grow on me. I can actually see myself using this more than I thought I would.
I can’t wait!!! Need this ipad now!
Will those pop up features make it to the iPhones OS/Safari browser?
Tha lack of Flash was always expected, and while I won’t be able to watch vids from some sites(CNET, Engadget, etc), for everything else, it’ll be stellar.
Finally a damn spell checker!
Okay, I’ll admit: it looks kind of cool. But unless I can actually do anything useful on it ( i.e. something that I can’t do on my iPhone or MacBook), then there’s simply no good reason for me to shell out $700-$800 for one. It’s just not that impressive to me.
@Sadie, to me it looks like something I would want because I can do many of the SAME types of things I already can do on my desktop, laptop, or iPhone, but more comfortably. I can easily see myself doing about 75% of my web surfing on an iPad instead of another device. Unlike a laptop or desktop, it starts up or awakens instantly, and I can take it with me. Unlike an iPhone, it’s got a screen big enough for more than just “quicky” surfing. Likewise for games and reading book or magazine content. I guess if I expected to run After Effects and Cinema 4D on it, I’d be disappointed, but I don’t.
I shudder to think how many of these things will find their way into bathrooms. And I don’t mean for relaxing in the tub, either.
Ugh…

way to be a self contradicting ******
Google will soon add the capability to play Flash videos to its Android mobile phone OS, Google product manager Eric Tseng announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The move will allow Google to differentiate its platform from Apple’s iPhone, which does not support Flash, and Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7 Series software, which will not support Flash in its first version.
“By working closely with Adobe we can tie the Flash runtime directly into the high-end hardware in these devices,” said Tseng. He had been invited to demonstrate the technology during Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s keynote speech at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Tuesday.
However, Tseng’s attempt to play a Flash video embedded in the front page of The New York Times Web site was thwarted by competition for the wireless network in the theater.
“It’s buffering,” said Tseng. “Everybody get off Wi-Fi now.”
A second demonstration, of an Android phone playing a trailer for a post-Apocalypse movie, was more successful.

Where do you think my iPhone gets used most? Now that’s multitasking….
This definitely looks very convenient and useful. I can imagine myself chilling in my kitchen with it, or at the airport, or taking notes in class, or even on vacation. This for me could replace a netbook and even a laptop for short-term trips and outings. I just hope the resolution is good enough…
