Want to See how your Website looks on an iPad?

The whole gadget world went crazy when the iPad was launched and if the reports are true, then over 300K iPads were sold on Saturday. Wow thats huge and it wil surely reach 1 Million soon when it starts shipping internationally.

So in case you wonder how your website will look on the large iPad Screen when people view it on their iPad then stop thinking anymore, I am gonna tell you HOW to check it.

iPadPeek's view of a Website as it will appear on iPad. i took this picture from Digital Inspiration as I was having issues with my Browser when changing the user agent string to that of iPad.

Step 1. First of all you must change your user agent string to that of the iPad. If you use Firefox, then download this plugin for this and Safari Owners, you do this directly from your Menu > Developer > User Agent > Other. (Make Sure you have enabled the Developer Menu in your Preferences)

Change it to this :-

Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B334b Safari/531.21.10

Chrome owners, you need not worry, Amit, a blogger describes how to do this on his blog, Digital Inspiration.

Step 2. Disable the Adobe Flash plug-in.

Step 3. Open iPadPeek.com and type the URL of your site in the address bar and then browse!

A on-screen keyboard also appears giving you true experience as if you were using an iPad but sadly, it doesn’t work It would be great if they replace it with a working one soon.

If you don’t like the Landscape mode then you can change it to potrait by clicking on top of the iPad i.e. on the top edge.
