Safari in the iPad

News Apple touts the iPad's browsing chops, and the iPad's Web experience is indeed very good from what we've seen so far. But the iPad's Safari Web browser is based on the iPhone version, and as good as iPhone browsing is compared to other mobile phones, even the biggest iPhone fan will admit that it has its limitations compared to browsing on a Mac or Windows PC.

Which leads to the obvious question: Is browsing on the iPad really good enough to let you forgo a laptop or netbook in favor of an iPad? Or is it more like browsing on the iPhone -- good enough for casual, on-the-go use, but not your first choice for general browsing?
