Updates to Safari don’t end there, however, as Apple has also (yes!) given us the option now to open links in new pages (the iPhone equivalent of tabs). Tap and hold on a link, and a menu pops up with the link path listed on top, and the option to Open the link (in the current page), Open in a New Page, or Copy to the clip board. As this is the same gesture used to allow Image Save in iPhone 2.0, if the link happens to be a picture, Image Save is rolled right into the same menu as a an additional option.
Cool. Just what
I wanted. Albeit a different implementation.
I try to refrain from pulling content straight from other sites, but I saw this on Daring Fireball today and couldn’t resist. I see this as an evolutionary step in news website presentation. It’s an experience. Try pressing “s” on your keyboard. If I were a heavy reader of the New York Times, I could actually invision myself using the article skimmer over the standard home page. AJAX search implementation wouldn’t hurt.
