Include Browser.iPad property

Reported by Douwe M. | February 16th, 2010 @ 01:25 PM

I think most people use the Browser.MobileSafari property to show content optimized for the iPhone's and iPod touches screen size, but with the iPad that also uses the /Apple.*Mobile.*Safari/ UA, that wouldn't be necessary as it already has a big (enough) screen.
I think there should be a Browser.iPad property, so we can fire those functions to optimally use the iPhone/iPod touch screen real-estate only for those devices, by using (Browser.MobileSafari && !Browser.iPad)

(Could be this will not be needed, as people report the iPad uses a normal desktop Safari UA... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2153877/ipad-user-agent)

    • State changed from “new” to “invalid”

    I don't think it worth of it. 99% of apps won't bother about it, and is super easy to define such a key in your specific app.

    Yeah, actually I agree... Otherwise you should add properties for every browser and browser version on the web...
