Safari Reader

After using Safari Reader in Safari 5 for a few days now I have come to love it.

My iPad arrives in a few days and I was wondering if iPad Safari has Reader or if its planned for next update?

It would be a killer feature if it aint already on it.

Currently it's not, I do like that new feature also. It's nice for reading longer Articles and as we all know the screen can be polluted with things that take away our attention (Ads, etc)

I don't think it is planned. Even if it is, it probably wouldn't be until at least iOS 4.0.
Feel free to use Instapaper though.

I don't know if it will make it into Mobile Safari any time soon. WWDC would have been a good time to introduce Safari Reader and Apple didn't, which to me means it's not coming to iOS.

I would be very surprised if it wasn't an addition in iOS4 for iPad later this year. As a feature it seems to be designed for the iPad. Cutting out distractions and pulling all parts of an article spread over multiple pages seems like a natural fit for the iPad.

I didn't realize it is doing this. That is pretty nice. I wonder how they are accomplishing that, and if it could be implemented into Instapaper easily.

Here, here. I love this feature; it would be perfect for iOS.

You can add the readability bookmarklet to your Safari desktop which will be available on iPad Safari provided you are syncing bookmarks. Works fine in iPad Safari.

You should be able to add it as a bookmark regardless, as long as you just paste the javascript in.

"Reader" would he great in iPad's Safari. However, I'd just be happy if they would add the tabs open count (ala iPhone Safari) to the tabs icon on the iPad. I hate hitting the button and realizing I already have a bunch of tabs open.

Just my 2 cents
