To call this web surfing doesn’t do it justice. You hold the Internet in your hands like a book, flip through it like a magazine, and do everything with your fingers on the big, beautiful iPad display. It’s like you control the whole wide web yourself.

The web whizzes by.
You’re about to do even faster browsing, reading, shopping, and everything-elsing on the web. That’s because web pages load (and reload) in a blink. Built-in Twitter support means you can tweet without ever leaving the web page you’re on. And since you can take the ultrathin and light iPad just about anywhere, you can take the web just about anywhere. Whether you’re connected via Wi-Fi or 3G, you can surf almost everywhere. Follow a recipe next to the sauté pan. House-hunt among the houses. Do field research in the field. Buy movie tickets, make dinner reservations, or find live music on the fly.
Tap is the new click.
Wherever you tap, that’s where you go. Tap links. Tap to play videos. Double-tap and play them full screen. Flick to scroll up or down the page. Even swipe through photo galleries. It’s more fun to point your way around the web when you use the most natural pointing device there is.
With tabbed browsing, you can see which web pages you have open at a glance, and move back and forth between pages with a single tap.
It’s your own little world wide web.
On iPad you decide how you want to view the web, as if the Internet’s built just for you. Hold iPad in portrait to see an entire web page. Rotate iPad to landscape, and the web page rotates, too, for a closer, wider view. Tap to enlarge or shrink a section. Zoom in on the details and zoom out with a pinch.
Search far and wide and wider.
If you’re looking for an exact word or phrase, do a quick text search within the page. Google, Yahoo!, or Bing will hunt down anything on the web for you. Tap the search field, type away, and suggestions start coming.
The best way to read the web.
There’s nothing like reading the web on iPad. Safari Reader smartly recognizes when there’s an article on the page. All you have to do is tap the Reader icon in the address bar and ads, clutter, and everything else that’s not your article disappears. So there’s nothing between you and your story. Running short on time? Add an article link to your Reading List so you can finish it later. iCloud automatically keeps the web pages you’ve saved — like articles in your Reading List and favorite sites and login pages you’ve bookmarked — up to date across all your devices.1 So you can pick up on one device where you left off on another.
Works with iCloudPrint the web.
When you want to print a web page — a recipe, a news article, a flight itinerary — just tap Print and iPad sends the information to your AirPrint-enabled printer, without the help (or hassle) of cords or cables.2
