Google Docs Desktop Version Full Desktop Safari

Google Docs has long been a huge problem on the iPad, for two reasons.

First, Googles own iPad app is god-awful and the company seems hell-bent on not updating it to work better.

Second, Google Docs in Safari on the iPad right now redirects you to that app even if you Request Desktop Site.

Keyboard shortcuts for formatting and header styling, comments, cursor placement, and even watching real-time edits from another person in the doc all worked.

That means websites wont default to serving their mobile versions because they see an iOS-based browser.

So it was pretty easy to hit all of Google Docs menu buttons, and keyboard shortcuts were no problem.

I dont know whether the touch optimization is part of that or if its another layer on top.

Is Apple just taking what is still at bottom its supercharged mobile browser and making sure it is optimized for commonly used desktop sites Is it actually something like the full desktop Safari codebase on the iPad.

We will have to wait until the official release to find out just how desktop class this version of Safari really is.
