iPad SDK hides Safari and Mail.app…but we found them
If you are a developer and have downloaded the 3.2 iPhone OS SDK beta 2, you can find and open the Safari.app by spotlighting it in the iPad emulator. From there you can play with tabs and the homepages and see extra features. You can then open the Mail.app by activating a mailto: link on a Safari website. Some screenshots follow:
From our developer friend….there are a lot of issues with the browser:
- gmail just doesn't function properly as well as google docs
- When I attempt to send a message i get a a light box experience where I can send a message but remain in the browser.
- the WSJ page is only rendering 98% properly
- facebook chat is not working, (though i am sure there will be an app)
- we see that fixed-positioning doesn't work in facebook as well
- and I read that iframes don't work, so google reader isn't working
- Hulu obviously doesn't work but it does send you to Adobe.com/flash to pick up a plugin (which won't install)
Here's the Mail.app:

Did you test call: maps: links?
Doesn't work at my installation.
Does Safari go to mobile versions of sites such as CNN or the full version?
Safari goes to the regular CNN page.

That is Not Mail.app, thats just a Message Compose view that can be brought up from any app. It's just a standard GUI feature.
Also, Safari wasn't hidden, it was sitting on my Dock when I loaded up the Simulator.

So whats the result in the ACID3 test? http://acid3.acidtests.org/
I get 100/100 on the Acid3 test, albeit with a little pink/red X in the upper right hand corner.
The bezel looks so much better reduced in that way.
Unlike on the iPhone you can watch movies on the internet without them being full screen. And like the computer version of Safari there it gives you google suggestions as you type.
where are the more screenshots :(
Why is the bezel so small? Anyone else find this curious?
The bezel is narrow because the iPad simulator itself already takes up so much of the screen and, you don't have to hold it in your hand so, they just shrunk it.
iFrames and Google Reader work fine for me
Is there any way to have double scrolling (in different boxes) in Safari on the iPad? Can this be done with iFrame?
How do you get Safari to run?
When I search for safari it comes up with nothing! could someone please give me a hand I really want to et this working! Thanks!

I Fix That For You Get Mail App Working
I havn't got mail app working either. Thanks!
From the article: "and I read that iframes don't work, so google reader isn't working "
This is not true: i-frames do work on mobile Safari. A little known trick is that you can scroll i-frames and scrollable text fields in the iPhone OS using a two-finger scroll.
You can simulate two finger scrolling on the Simulator by holding the option key, then position the virtual "fingers" close to each other on the area you want to scroll, then while still holding option press and hold the shift key, then "scroll" with the mouse.
And I can confirm that it works in Google Reader.
