With every sale of the iPad that’s one more person using a high class standards-based web browser (Safari) and email client (Mail). Yay!

“Microsoft has no choice but to make a leap of development faith, by abandoning the IE rendering engine and releasing new WebKit-based desktop and mobile browsers. IE is a dead platform.”
— Joe Wilcox, Microsoft should dig into the WebKit to stop Google from framing IE
“Yet, thanks largely to the success of the iPhone, Webkit (Apple’s open source version of KHTML) in the form of Safari, has been a surprising force for good on the web, raising people’s expectations about what a web browser can and should do, and what a web page should look like.”

Of all the great new features in Safari 4, one which I thought would annoy me was their removal of the sexy “inline progress indicator” which filled the address bar with blue as the page loaded.
