When people recommend an app that is just a substitute for a website, it confirms my impression that Safari is not that great on the iPad. I used to think this was the case on the iPhone solely because of screen size, but if apps are still better on the iPad I guess not.

Using the apps nets you stuff like notifications, file uploading and chat.

  Why should file uploading require a dedicated application? That has been a standard browser feature since at least Netscape 3.

    Ask Apple, but probably because the iPhone doesn't have a user exposed file system.
