Multitasking Browser for your iPad

17 Jul 2010 | Advice |

If you’re the type of user who wants to update your FaceBook profile and wants to leave other browsers open, and at the same time browsing other Web sites on an iPad, then Multitasking Browser is best for you.

Multitasking Browser is an app from InnovPixels. It works well with your iPad browsing though it’s inferior compared to the mobile version of Safari. Also, Multitasking Browser lacks other seemingly obvious features that it needs to be a truly great app.

Multitasking Browser provides you with two browsing windows: normal sized window for the iPad and smaller browser window that you use to view the mobile versions of Websites. The windows will appear side-by-side if you’re on a landscape mode. If you’re in a portrait mode, the mini-browser is accessible using a somewhat less useful, non-multitasking popover menu.

The apps main browser window features many standard comforts you’d want for a browser, but it you’re a fan of Safari on your iPad you will see the difference of the lacking apps of the Multitasking Browser. The app allows you to add new bookmarks or open those you’ve saved, view all your active Web pages, and double-tap on any article you’re viewing to zoom in for easier reading. The downside, it does not have RadioParadise, which allows you to stream music in the background of your iPad.

The mini-browser bookmarks four popular sites like Facebook, Twitter, Meebo, Weather.com, but sad to say, there’s no way for you to add your own bookmark for your favorite sites. You need to enter those sites every time you want to access them.

Multitasking Browser offers great features, but it’s not the kind of app that can replace the greatness of Safari. The app needs more polishing to be more competitive and appealing to the iPad users.
