It's slightly different. For one thing, you don't see the logo at the top; it just renders in text. I'm sure you didn't do anything to iPad enable it, which means the site just did it automatically. Pretty cool, especially if the desktop/web version uses Flash to swipe the photos. Apple has left Flash in the dust for all its mobile devices, so patch-throughs are having to be hard-coded to get the iPad to recognize Flash on the web. Most of the time, as you know from having an iPhone, the page just doesn't load properly. You have to force program Flash to work. It's a messy process (this is the kind of thing I've learned too much about with the magazine project), and it's great that it's not something you have to worry about, apparently." Kudos and thanks to APF for this!

Here's a trick if you want to preview your APF site, to see how it will look on the iPad. This is for Safari on a Mac. In Safari, in the Preferences > Advanced Tab, select "Show Develop menu in menu bar. This will make a "Develop" menu header. Then open the web page you want to preview with iPad formatting (e.g. your APF site), Click Develop > User Agent > Other, from the menu. A box appears with a custom user agent string. Replace the string with, "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B334b Safari/531.21.10" and click "okay". You will now see a simulated version of your APF site showing how it will reformat itself for the iPad. I'm sure, in the future, Safari will be updated to include the iPad as a preset in the User Agent menu. Rob – great to see this happen so quickly.
