Ipad 2 apps: Terra Web browser Review

Terra Web Browser iPad App Review

Take everything you can already do on the default Safari web browser, but add tabbed browsing, full screen mode, on-page text search, incognito browsing and offline page viewing and you have the Terra Web Browser for iPad.
Unlike Atomic Lite – another free browser alternative – Terra keeps your browser simple and clean without any extra clutter. Terra’s interface takes up very little of your screen real estate and Terra is absent of any annoying banner ads. The app tool bar remains simple and similar to the Safari browser only featuring a back/forward button, bookmarks bar, address bar, search (which you can change the default engine), settings and full screen button (not available in Safari).
While the lack of browser tabs doesn’t bother me as much, I know many iPad users who just can’t adjust to a world without tabbed browsing. Well, anti-Safarians, Terra is here to save you. Terra integrates tabbed browsing into the browser and doesn’t limit you to a maximum while Atomic Lite Browser is capped at six tabs.
For the advanced surfer, Terra also won’t disappoint. Terra allows you to adjust your browser identifcation as either an iPad, Mac OS Safari, IE 6 or Firefox. This works out especially well if you dislike mobile optimized sites that automatically redirect you to the stripped down mobile version of the website. In addition, if you want to make sure your browser stays cookie free and your browsing history clean, incognito browsing mode is at your disposal.
A simple, stable and clean alternative to Safari, the Terra Web Browser iPad app is the best free browser available if you’re unsatisfied with Safari.

Publisher Description

Terra is the fast web browser with tabs, full screen and other functions. It’s better than Safari and has unbelievable price – it’s FREE!
Terra has everything you missed in Safari: unlimited tabs, full screen browsing, text search and ability to save web pages for offline reading. All that you want is here.
What makes Terra better than Safari:
  • Unlimited Tabs – Enjoy desktop class web browsing experience. Create as many tabs as you need, quickly switch between opened web pages and open links in new tabs.
  • Full Screen Browsing – Take advantage of the 100% of the iPad screen. Hide toolbars and tabs with one tap.
  • Save Web Pages – You can save web pages to read them offline with all images preserved.
  • Text Search – Easily find a word on the web page. Great for long Wikipedia articles.
  • Swipe gestures – Use swipe gestures for easy navigation while surfing the Internet.
What else Terra lets you do:
  • Bookmark Favorite Web Pages – You can add your favorite web pages to the bookmarks. Open a new tab and quickly navigate to any preferred web site.
  • Manage Bookmarks – Terra excels bookmark management. Add bookmarks, create multiple nested folders
  • Turn on Desktop Browsing – You can set Terra to pretend IE 7, Desktop Safari or Firefox to browse desktop versions of the web sites.
  • Stay Private – When private mode is turned on, your browsing history and cookies are not saved.
  • Passcode protection – Protect application with password. Best way to keep your bookmarks, recently visited web sites and saved pages private.
  • Send links by email – Share interesting web pages with friends and colleagues.
  • Save images – Tap and hold on the image to save it, exactly like in Safari.

Ipad 2 Accesories

By
Zagg have done it again and released what we are excited to say is the seasons MUST HAVE iPad accessory: The  ZAGGmate iPad case with keyboard . It’s not often that we get entirely blown away by an accessory for the iPad, but this one has left us shell shocked and in awe. The perfect compliment to your iPad, this is the first iPad keyboard case combo that we have seen yet that has done it right. In fact, it’s the best bluetooth keyboard we’ve seen to date as well! It’s so right and so perfect that we already wonder how we ever used our iPad without it! Check out the review below… ZAGGmate with Keyboard The iPad’s New Best Friend Our first impression of the ZAGGmate was: “Where’s the rest of it?” This iPad case is unlike anything else we’ve seen on the market to date and the designers at Zagg worked hard to literally rethink what an iPad case could be. This is an iPad case that doesn’t cover the whole iPad, but rather just covers the iPad’s screen, and leaves the back of the tablet...

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review Skyfire for the iPad made headlines when it was first released, due to its ability to play Flash videos on a device previously void of this popular technology. Users flocked to the App Store, eager to drop five bucks for the chance to view their favorite clips, shows, and movies on their iPad. Not only did the browser play these videos, but the integrated video compression saved a significant amount of bandwidth for people on a restricted data plan. The initial excitement wore off quickly, though, as complaints were rampant about many sites not playing videos as expected. Since its inception Skyfire has certainly improved in this area, now claiming support for over 200,000 websites containing Flash. The dissenters will always be there as not every Flash video on the Web will be playable, even if the developers at Skype Labs remain diligent. Some of the backlash is warranted to a certain extent. If I paid $4.99 with the intent of viewi...
