Even though Dolphin browser on the iPad is similar to what's already been available on Android and the iPhone, it almost makes more sense on the bigger screen. Also, I think it's my most favoritest iPad browser right now.
It's a web browser that's been on Android forever and a half ago and was recently released to the iPhone. And it's pretty much the same thing as the phone version—tabbed browsing, porn mode, full screen browsing, gestures that can trigger actions and webzines that make websites look prettier (or at least more Flipboard-esque). Even loaded with all those features though, my favorite thing about Dolphin is the sidebar bookmarks—I just find it a lot more convenient to use.
Here's where I explain why I really like the sidebars that hide "beneath" the browser. I usually hold my iPad in portrait mode where I have my two hands on the two bottom corners. When I want to go to one of my favorite pages in Safari, I have to move my hand, run it all the way to the top of the iPad's 9.7 inch screen and hope my fat fingers can tap 'giz' to load Gizmodo. It usually doesn't and I try again. To put it bluntly, it's a freaking pain in the ass. It's not the magic the iPad promised! And though the Dolphin browser ain't Copperfield, it's close. I just side swipe to reveal the side bar favorites, tap the favorite site I want to go to and watch it load. No hand movement necessary. Now that's what I'm talking about!
Also, I like "privacy mode".
