Apple's iPad tablet comes with its own Safari browser for surfing the web. Unfortunately, not all sites are built with Safari in mind. If you happen upon a website that specifically requires Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser or would like to test your own site with a variety of browsers while using the iPad, you'll need to turn to the App Store for the solution. There are several third-party browsing apps for iPad capable of emulating Internet Explorer.
