What kind of UI fine tuning do you mean, and what is missing from Safari?

• damoncali 16y ago
  Safari just need more polish. There are weird rendering bugs like fine lines between divs. large sites get cut off instead of becoming scrollable. Sites that use drag and drop or hover don't work right. Overall, the UI on the iPad feels like the iPhone, which isn't really optimal for a larger device. It needs more thought, which I'm sure is happening right now as developers get a feel for the iPad. It's very much a V1 product.

    Sure those rendering errors are the sites CSS fault? Pretty sure Safari for iPad uses the same webkit as Desktop. Hover for a touch device?

      No it's mobile Safari's fault. You're right about hover/drags but it does have odd rendering issues. It also has abysmal javascript performance compared to its desktop counterpart.

      Yeah, it's Safari. And yes, if there is a web app that requires a hover or drag, you're kind of screwed. It's not often, but between the Flash issue and the less than awesome Javascript, and the lack of certain common ui elements (drag and hover), it's not all that uncommon to find problems with the iPad Safari. But I'll take it, warts and all.

        I'd say it's the designer of the interface that hasn't taking a touch interface into consideration.
