Dolphin Gesture-Based iPad Browser

Posted: 12 Sep 2011 08:29 AM PDT

If you enjoy using gestures on your iPad you might be interested to know that a new browser has been created that lets you navigate the Web by drawing gestures on your iPad screen.

Created by MoboTap the Dolphin Browser uses nine preloaded gestures for common Web browsing commands. For example, drawing an upper case “G” will open Google Search or a backwards “C” will refresh the website you are currently viewing. But if those don’t suit your Internet surfing and iPad use you can always create your own gestures for the commands you use.
