Noticed on [html5test.com](http://html5test.com), my iphone browser definitely beats out my android devices.  
I wonder if the ipads handle mobile ignition differently or better than a droid. Any thoughts?

The iPad and iPhone should handle mobile content identically; they use the same browser.

I’m not sure exactly what features Ignition relies on for mobile devices, but [html5test.com/](http://html5test.com/) can set a good benchmark for how capable the browser is. You also have to take into account that mobile devices have multiple browser choices.

For example just a small sample of the available big name browsers where capability may differ:  
[ul]  
[li][Chrome](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome)[/li]  
[li][Opera Mobile](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser)[/li]  
[li][Firefox](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox)[/li][/ul]

We have both in our dept, Seem to both handle the Mobile App pretty much flawlessly.  
I do run Dolphin on the android tho, not the stock browser.

I’ll give dolphin a try, Do we have alternatives to the user input wheel? I’ve never seen it on any other page before… is there any way around the wheel method?

A [beta](http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/android/) for Chrome is [available](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&hl=en) for Android; however, it’s only available for 4.0 (ICS).
