MoboTap, the creator of the popular Dolphin Browser for Android and iPhone, has unleashed a browser for the iPad.

The app, Dolphin Browser HD, contains all of the gesture control features that have made it a hit on the Android platform. Drawing a “<" will take you back a page, and drawing a ">” will take you forward. Users can also create their own gestures and shortcuts to access their favorite websites or launch browser commands.

The iPad app also includes Dolphin Webzine, the browser’s Flipboard-style system for reading web content, tabbing browsing, a URL bar that predicts what website you’re going to type, and a speed dial for accessing favorite websites with a quick tap. Users can access their bookmarks by swiping from left-to-right or their open tabs by swiping right-to-left.

Like its iPhone counterpart, Dolphin Browser for the iPad is built on top of Safari. Dolphin Browser for iPad is fast though and the gesture commands are intuitive for the touchscreen browser. We could see a lot of people removing the Safari App from their App Trays and replacing it with Dolphin.

Cool review. 

Now that we can get out hands on the new Firefox 8, it’s time to redo the The BIG browser benchmark!

BIG browser benchmark is simple - we take the leading browsers and pit them against four of the toughest benchmark tests available to see which is the tortoise, and which is the hare.

Five browsers are in the running:
•Internet Explorer 9 (9.0.8112.16421) 32-bit
•Firefox 8
