I sincerely wish all the tablet browsers had the following things offered/fixed asap:
1. A full-screen option so that I can experience whatever website I am on with full space and attention. Dolphin (my default browser) on iPad already has this, and it makes good for inadvertent touches on the screen taking me away from the page I am on.
2. CSS property :fixed, should be fixed you know. Even on iPad the fixed elements jump off the screen the moment you focus on text areas or input boxes. Drives me crazy! And yes I don't want to hide and fade-in that element (like with jquerymobile) just to fool the bug.
3. Tablets probably do not require pinch-to-zoom like in mobile phones. This could be contested, but seriously double tap screws the experience of clicking buttons. You expect to login, but the site just jumps to a new zoom level.
4. I played with libraries of text-editor, after text-editor, after text-editor to get the experience right. Figured out that it was the iframe (i.e. DOM within a DOM) that makes it a complete dud on iPad. Tap events bind to the iframe after a significant, unusable, time lag. On other tablets it is worse.
The list can go on. I think the problem is of approach. Tablets shouldn't be porting browser from mobile. It should have been from desktops to tablets. Or something built ground up.
