iPad Safari limited to 9 tabs

Similar to the iPhone’s 8 tab limit, the iPad currently limits you to 9 tabs. So it seems not only are we missing background apps, they are also really limiting you on your browsing experience. My guess is Apple’s argument will be this is just for casual browsing and not meant to replace the computer or laptop where I’ve been known to have over 30 tabs open at one time.

Speculation, iPad
9 is plenty — I didn’t even know the iPhone has a maximum of 8. 30 tabs is not the norm, sounds like you’d be better off with a Win7 netbook, or MacBook Air.
Personally, I think the iPad will set the standard for this class of device; but not until the 2nd or 3rd generation. Without at least a front-facing camera, this first one will flop.
Yeah, I agree, 30 is definitely excessive. For the iPhone 8 is enough 99% of the time as I usually just pick it up, look up one thing and close it. Still, 9 just seems low to me for a device that supposed to be between an iPhone and MacBook.
I’m just a little bit disappointed on this. I use 32 tabs on my MBP. I guess that is just asking too much of this device. I wish the Air would get built-in 3G and the same data deal as the iPad.
Of course I still want the iPad for trips, coffee shop, and places where I would have no Wifi access.
