1Password is one of my most-used iOS apps, since I need it to log in to any site which requires a password. Since the introduction of 1Password on iOS, Agile has provided a bookmarklet which will open 1Password and then search for the current domain. That helps the fact that 1Password can't be fully integrated with Safari on iOS. Unfortunately the bookmarklet stopped working in iOS 5. According to the company's blog, Agile has discontinued the bookmarklet and won't be updating it. They are working on "something better coming up for the future." They went on to add that they want to make 1Password's own integrated browser "more usable as "a Safari replacement, or rather partial replacement." While I will reserve judgment until I see it, I have serious reservations about this plan. I have used iCab Mobile on the iPad for over a year. iCab is a superior browser to Read More

Oft nachgefragt: ein Beitrags-Update über meine ‘Homescreens‘. Seit März 2011, als die letzte Aktualisierung dieser Artikel-Serie erfolgte, hat sich die eine oder andere App verschoben, geändert und aussortiert. Der derzeit aktuellen Stand ist an dieser Stelle festgehalten. Vielleicht finden an diesem Montag ja speziell frische 4S-Käufer, die einen ersten Grundbedarf an Software benötigen, die eine oder andere Anregung. Ich persönlich ziehe jede individuelle Empfehlungen allen generischen ‘Hitlisten’ vor. Genau deshalb soll mein privater Einblick auch nicht alleine bleiben: Wer Screenshots oder Tipps von seinen verwendeten Apps in den Kommentaren kundtun möchte, ist dazu herzlich eingeladen. Zwei Anmerkungen noch: Die zwei benutzten Hintergrundbilder gibt es hier und hier. Auf meinem Standby-Screen befinden sich dieses und dieses Bild. Außerdem führe ich zwei Ordner mit ‘Review’-Software, die ich mir für dieses Blog noch genauer anschauen möchte. Da diese Programme (noch) keine Empfehlungen sind, verbleiben sie für diesen Artikel ohne Erwähnung. Außerdem verstecken sich in Read More

The iPad is an amazing device for surfing the web. Its large screen and multitouch gestures make it feel like you're actually holding a web page in your hands. Web browsing on the iPad is going to get even better with the release of iOS 5. That's when Safari on iPad gains Reading List and Reader functionality and the all-important tabbed browsing. However, as good as the iPad is at handling web browsing, some websites would clearly benefit from a dedicated iPad app. When viewed on an iPad, these sites lack key features that they show off to full effect when used with desktop browsers. Other websites have a high amount of interactivity that may work on an iPad, but that interactivity doesn't translate well to a touch interface. I realize that any website could be made into an iPad app. Most websites, however, don't need them. Here at TUAW, for Read More

Posted 07/13/2011 at 8:25am | by J Keirn-Swanson There are some pretty good reasons to stick with mobile Safari: it's the iPhone default, so links automatically route to there from other apps, it's pretty speedy, and, even though the app is simple to use, Apple's crammed a ton of functionality into that little guy -- whether in iPhone or iPad flavors. But sometimes... well, sometimes Safari leaves us a little cold, leaves us wanting something a little more full featured, something we don't have to install a bunch of bookmarklets to make work. RichTech has put together a fine app here with Atomic Web Browser, an app that looks pretty simple at first glimpse. Eight buttons, two text boxes, and the mobile world. The larger text box at top is for URLs while the smaller handles your searches, just like in Safari.  In the iPhone version, across the bottom are seven Read More

iCab Mobile is an iPad (and iPhone) web browser app that offers options at your fingertips with settings that can be summoned up any time right there in the browser. It seems like a silly thing to say, but you can actually set your homepage to be something that you want it to be, and you can return to it by clicking a home button in the address line. Outside of an OS, pretty much everything that I need has some kind of connection to the World Wide Web, as a result a good browser is something that I just can’t do without. I tried to live with Safari, but really it comes up way short of what I would expect of a good browser. Having to go into the iPad’s options to change the settings is also ridiculous I feel, and even then it doesn’t offer much to change. iCab Read More

It’ll be interesting to see if Apple gives Safari a facelift in the upcoming iOS 5 update. It’s already rumored that several areas like voice control will receive an overhaul, but will the tiny browser see any improvements? If you’re not currently happy with Apple’s default browser, there are several alternatives in the App Store. iCab and Atomic are awesome choices, but what about Opera Mini? Even if you didn’t like the browser before, you might want to check out the latest update… I’ve tried Opera Mini as a browser replacement on my iPhone before, and let’s just say it didn’t last long. But when I started noticing several media outlets reporting the major update, I had to check it out again. The improved user interface is gorgeous and features convenient access to favorite websites and browser settings. Tapping the O launches a neat and easy to read menu. In my opinion, Read More

Der ‘Opera Mini Web Browser‘ (kostenlos; universal; App Store-Link) verjüngt in Version 6 seine Optik und passt sich den neuen iOS-Geräten (inklusive ihrer Bildschirm-Auflösungen) an. Erwähnenswert ist das deshalb für mich an dieser Stelle, weil Browser-Dritthersteller, wie beispielsweise der hier erwähnte Opera, Optionen zur Traffic-Minimierung mitbringen. Über dünne und teure Urlaubs-Leitungen ist es sicherlich nicht unklug, sich ein paar Megabyte einzusparen. Doch Opera ist nicht allein: Auch iCab (1.59 €; universal; App Store-Link) beherrscht Webseiten-Komprimierung (via Google Mobilizer) oder blendet Bilder auf bestimmten URLs aus. Wovon ich dringend abrate sind Dienste wie Onavo, die über einen Betriebssystem-Proxy euren gesamten Datenverkehr – inklusive aller Account- und App-Informationen – durch einen externen Server leiten. Auch wenn die App angenehm ‘bunt’ ausfällt und die Versprechen hoch sind, bleibt das Risiko unverhältnismäßig. Zumindest je nachdem, für wie wichtig man seine privaten Daten erachtet… Auch Opera schleust den gesamten Datenverkehr des Browsers (zur Reduktion) über ihre Read More

The developer of iCab Mobile, a feature-rich alternative to the Safari Web browser on iPad and iPhone, has been ordered by Apple to remove its ability to download and install JavaScript modules. Presumably it's not the fact that iCab can execute JavaScript that's causing Apple to apoplectically puff and splutter, but rather its ability to download modules. Both Apple and Google frown upon apps that contain market-like functionality, and someone at Apple probably thought that iCab's JavaScript modules looked like a bit too much like discrete apps. Alexander Clauss, iCab's developer, has rather a lot to say on the matter. "Maybe if I would have called the modules 'smart bookmarks' and would have made installing them much more complicated, Apple would have never asked to remove the ability to download them from the internet. The great user experience of installing modules has probably created a suspicion that these modules are more Read More

When I first used Safari on my iPhone, I was blown away by how much better it was than any other mobile browser, but since then, Apple hasn't done much with it. A recent Safari update brought significant speed increases, but there are many other limitations that finally led me to try something else, namely iCab Mobile. Is improving your web browsing experience on the iPad or iPhone/iPod touch worth $2? Before you object to paying for a web browser, let me remind you of a few Apple apps and their alternatives. On iOS, Apple gave you a Notes app, but many people prefer Simplenote or other text editors or note programs because they offer more features. If you subscribe to MobileMe, you have a 20 GB iDisk, but anyone who has tried Dropbox knows that it works much better. Apple gave you iCal, but BusyCal is a lot better. Apple Read More

Want to access Amazon’s new Cloud Player from your iOS device? We’ve found a serviceable, if hackneyed, solution. Amazon launched its Cloud Player and Cloud Drive services Tuesday, offering users a way to access their music files from a web browser anywhere. Amazon also released an official Android app for Cloud Player that lets Android fans listen to their tunes on the go. What about iOS users? Well, it would appear at first blush as if owners of the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad are out of luck — the Cloud Player website simply doesn’t want to work with Mobile Safari. After assessing the situation a bit, it’s clear that this is a limitation not born out of technical necessity (read: This isn’t because of Flash) and is either a simple oversight or an intentional decision to block iOS devices. Users who attempt to access amazon.com/cloudplayer in iOS are greeted with Read More

Following up on my article about the best Mac apps I used in 2010, here are some of the best hybrid "Mac and iOS apps" I used in 2010. This wasn't an attempt to come up with a specific number, just the results of some careful reflection. You may wonder why some apps appear on this list instead of the Mac list. For example, Dropbox has an iOS app, why not add it here? Because my primary use of Dropbox is on the Mac. Yes I use it with iOS, but it's usually through another app that is syncing back to my Mac. On the other hand, using OmniFocus for iPad (our review) led to me using OmniFocus for Mac more, so I put OmniFocus on this list. All that is to say, these are my distinctions, and you are free to disagree with them. 1) myPhoneDesktop (or MPD) is a Read More

In unregelmäßigen Abständen halte ich an dieser Stelle meine ersten beiden Homescreen-Seiten vom iPhone fest. Zuletzt erfolgte dies im August 2010, Januar 2010 sowie September 2009. Für mich von Spannung ist dabei welche Apps sich immer noch auf meinem Geräte befinden, welche komplett verschwanden oder sich eventuell (nur) verschoben haben. Dabei greife ich die (für mich) wesentlichen Änderungen heraus. Ansonsten überraschend wenig Veränderungen: BeejiveIM flog dank Push-Benachrichtigungen in einen Ordner auf der zweiten Seite. Außerdem verstecken sich innerhalb der Ordner folgende Apps*: Amazon.de (kostenlos; App Store-Link), Convertbot (1.59 €; App Store-Link), AnalyticsPro (5.49 €; App Store-Link), Delivery Status touch (3.99 €; universal; App Store-Link), Dropbox (kostenlos; universal; App Store-Link), iCabMobile (1.59 €; universal; App Store-Link), Skype (kostenlos; App Store-Link), WeatherPro (2.99 €; App Store-Link), Pastebot (2.99 €; App Store-Link), LogMeIn (23.99 €; universal; App Store-Link), OffMaps (1.59 €; universal; App Store-Link), Kik (kostenlos; App Store-Link), PayPal (kostenlos; App Store-Link), Linkie (0.79 Read More

Das Unterhaltungsangebot von Bild.de sperrt am heutigen Morgen seinen Internetauftritt für Leser, die mit einem iPad-Webbrowser die Online-Seite erreichen. Die URL ‘bildgehtapp.bild.de’ verweist in den App Store zum 79-Cent-Angebot, wenn sich der Browser als Apple Tablet ausgibt. Das iPhone leitet weiterhin auf die mobile Webseite wap.bild.de um. Nutzt man eine alternative Surf-App, bei der sich die Browser-ID (User-Agent) umstellen lässt, kann Bild.de ohne Einschränkungen angesteuert werden. Mit iCab Mobile (1.59 €; universal; App Store-Link) findet sich beispielsweise eine solche, empfehlenswerte Alternative. ‘Bild HD’ für das iPad steht seit Anfang Dezember zum Kauf. Die Idee, den App Store als komfortable Bezahlschranke (Paywall) zu benutzen und sich keine eigenen Gedanken zu machen ist jedoch älter. Bereits im November 2009 kündigte Mathias Döpfner, Vorstandsvorsitzender der Axel Springer AG, die Bekämpfung der “Kostenlos-Kultur im Internet” an. Über das vergangene Jahr steuerte Bild gezielte Kampagnen, die sich vornehmlich gegen ein Online-Angebot der öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender richtete. Absurde Read More

Mit SlideRocket lassen sich Präsentationen im Webbrowser erstellen. Seit 2008 über Flash-basierte Werkzeuge, die mittlerweile eine ernsthafte PowerPoint- und Keynote-Konkurrenz darstellt. Seit Mitte November sind so erstellten Folien, die mit Video-, Text- und Audio-Material gespickt sein können, über einen HTML5-Player auf iPad und iPhone abrufbar. Wer das direkt ausprobieren möchte, klickt vom mobilen Gerät auf den Link zur Beispiel-Präsentation. SlideRocket bietet zwei unterschiedliche Preisstufen an. Eine abgespeckte Basis-Version ist kostenlos zu nutzen. ‘SlideRocket Pro’ kostet $24 US-Dollar pro Monat und liefert ein weitaus umfangreicheres (Firmen-)Paket mit einer 14-tägigen Testzeit. Die am Rechner erstellten Präsentationen lassen sich so exzellent in kleiner Runde ohne zusätzlichen Projekt am iPad vorführen oder den Mitarbeitern unterwegs zur Verfügung stellen. Wer über einen VGA-Connector (Affiliate-Link) oder ein AV-Kabel (Affiliate-Link) die Webbrowser-Präsentation auch an einen Fernseher oder Beamer ausgeben möchte, greift (beispielsweise) zum Safari-Konkurrenten iCab (1.59 €; universal; App Store-Link). Entgegen dem Apple-Webbrowser ist iCab in der Lage, Read More

Dubbed iLunascape, the browser is available for free in the App Store, and it’s a more than solid alternative to Safari on the iPad. Most importantly, iLunascape allows for desktop-like tabbed browsing on the iPad (a first for a free app). Up to six tabs can be opened at the same time, and users can switch between them easily via thumb taps. Tabbed browsing works great Read More

Alle paar Monate – in unregelmäßigen Abständen – halte ich meine ersten zwei Homescreen-Seiten vom iPhone in einem Bildschirmfoto fest. Dabei interessiert mich vornehmlich: Welche Apps haben sich in den vergangenen Wochen in eine vordere Positionen gekämpft und welche Programme sind (bei mir) komplett rausgeflogen. Die jeweilige App-Store-Software ist gleichzeitig auch immer eine kleine (Download-)Empfehlung. Der letzte Homescreen-Bericht stammt vom 04. Januar 2010. Durch das sommerliche iOS-4-Update, mit seiner neuen Ordner-Funktion, kam ordentlich Bewegung in die Homescreen-Sortierung. Mittlerweile besitze ich nicht mehr als zwei Homescreen-Seiten; starte die Programme jedoch größtenteils direkt über die Spotlight-Suche. Über weitere App-Store-Empfehlungen in den Kommentaren freue ich mich immer sehr! Read More

iCab Mobile is the browser for the iPad I’ve been waiting for. Using the same WebKit rendering engine as Mobile Safari, iCab brings a true “desktop” class browser to the iPad. Where Mobile Safari scales up from the iPhone, iCab Mobile has scaled down from the desktop version of iCab, one of the oldest Mac browsers still around. For additional learning on Safari for Mac, checkout Safari 101 and Mac Browsers (subscription required). The first noticeable thing about iCab is that it actually uses real tabs. The UI borrows heavily from Mobile Safari; the URL bar looks almost identical. However, underneath the URL bar is a bookmarks bar, and underneath that is the tab bar, which seems to function just like the tab bar in any desktop browser. The tab bar does two things to the interface: one, it adds what some might consider “clutter” to the window. When compared to Safari, Read More

Posted 05/13/2010 at 10:34am | by Michelle Delio The App Store’s loaded with browsers intended to provide a speedier, richer experience—after all, Mobile Safari leaves ample room for improvement. With the exception of Opera Mini, all the competing browsers are built using the same WebKit code base (WebKit is the open-source browser engine at the heart of Safari), so any performance gains come from added features like improved tabbing, faster scrolling, image/ad blockers, and page compression. Some of these features are useful and do contribute to faster, more efficient browsing. That said, all third-party browsers running on iPhone and iPad are inherently handicapped. Since you can’t chose an alternative app as your default web browser, basic activities like opening links from other apps aren’t a matter of click and open. And given their second-class-citizen status as non-system apps, third-party browsers can’t run in the background, so there’s no behind-the-scenes rendering or Read More

Engadget vergleicht zwei Android-Webbrowser mit einem iPhone 3GS. Das neue ‘Google Nexus One’ beherrschte am gestrigen Dienstag die Medienlandschaft, setzt sich beim Aufrufen von Webseiten jedoch nur marginal schneller vor den 2.0 (An)Droid. Das iPhone kühlt in diesem Vergleich bereits seit Sekunden im Ziel aus. Google’s Vorstoß in den Hardwarebereich ist trotzdem ein Spannender. Der Vertrieb über die Webseite google.com/phone für die Bestellung mit und ohne Vertrag (derzeit) in die Länder USA, U.K., Singapur und Hong Kong, würde auch dem iPhone gut zu Gesicht stehen. Das drückt ungeahnte Unabhängigkeit gegenüber den Mobilfunkbetreibern aus. Der Fokus auf das Internet spült (werbeinteressierte) Kunden ins Google E-Mail-Portal, auf die Suchmaske oder zur YouTube-Videoplattform. Als Zusatzfunktion darf auch telefoniert werden. Der Browser ist das Herzstück der aktuellen Mobilfunkgeneration. Im Desktop-Bereich zog Google mit Chrome im Dezember laut Net Applications-Statistik an Apple’s Safari vorbei. Die neue Rangliste gliedert sich demnach folgendermaßen: 2) Firefox (24,61%) 3) Chrome Read More

27 Apr 2009 alle 18:36 iSpazio:  | Utenti: [ratings] è una bella applicazione e rappresenta quello che probabilmente è il miglior browser per iPhone. Iniziamo col dire che si basa su Safari, poichè in AppStore non ci sarà mai un vero e proprio browser alternativo, ma include alcune funzionalità uniche ed altre che anticipano il firmware 3.0. L’elenco delle caratteristiche è davvero lungo, quindi procediamo con ordine:    Il tab inferiore ha 6 icone, ed ognuna di queste è collegata ad un menu. Partendo dall’estrema destra, possiamo accedere a varie impostazioni: Il secondo tab riguarda le funzioni di ricerca. Con un solo tasto possiamo cercare sul Web (tramite vari motori di ricerca) oppure all’interno della pagina in cui ci troviamo. Basterà selezionare “Search in current page” ed i risultati saranno evidenziati di giallo. Se invece vogliamo cercare su Google, possiamo anche aprire i risultati in una nuova pagina.    Il terzo Read More
