Been waiting for an update to iCab for a while, and I just noticed it appear in the App Store. It's now got a pretty new icon, smooth new UI design, low memory features, search box suggestions, and Dropbox integration. Tons of new features altogether, almost like the 4.2 for iCab!
Full update feature list:
New for iPad:
- Brightness control
- New design for browser window
- Download icon shows progress of active downloads
- Bookmarks bar can be switched off
New for all devices:
- Dropbox-Support: Export/import bookmarks. Upload images, files, web pages, downloads to your dropbox account.
- (Limited) file upload is supported. Works fine on web pages which do not try to modify the default forms processing of the browser (for example works fine for uploading photos to flickr.com). Can fail on pages which mess with the forms processing of the browser. You can upload photos or files from the download manager.
- In-page search now supports to navigate between the search results
- Search the selected text in the default search engine.
- New settings for low memory situations. iCab can display a warning and/or free inactive Tabs to get enough memory for the active Tab
- In fullscreen mode you can now enter a new URL.
- Search Suggestions from Google or Yahoo
- Audio playback on web pages can continue when iCab is in the background
- News Icon
- Russian Translation

It's looking nice so far, the interface is based on iPad Safari now, so it's gorgeous, and it feels so much snappier now! Overall, and with the memory features, I think this takes it the top of the iPad browser category now. Only thing... still no 'copy' for images! The only thing I still need to go to Safari for.
Anyone else: thoughts?
