I must import/export Bookmarks files at least twice a week - to share

Safari for iPad has finally been enhanced with the features I want to
make it usable), and I even edit sets to pass to friends over e-mail as
collections of links. Very, *very* handy once you learn what you can do
with that file.
If "Firefox Home" is available for the iPad, you can use that +
SeaMonkey Sync instead of manual export ;-)
Again, no joy. It looks optimized for iPhone - which means I'd have to
use the iPad built in 2X zoom and live with crappy display in my
browser. It also looks like a "note taker" and not really a browser.
Plus I would never use Firefox in lieu of SM...I'd use Safari. Opera
Mini would probably be more to my liking, but then I'd be in the same
boat as I am now.
Surprised though...given the SM team's outrage and upset at my vigorous
requests for an iOS version of SM I expected I'd never see any such
product for iOS. But much as I figured, it *can* and *has* been done,
or at least started - kudos to the Firefox team! Hope they finish the
job and put out an iPad optimized version.
What has happened in the meantime is that iOS Safari has become what I
want in all but the exception of being able to save a Home page - but I
can get around that with Tabs; I just leave two open and use one as my
"home". I don't even use Atomic on my iPad anymore, though I keep it
around.
So, what I do is export/import my SM Bookmarks into Lion Safari and then
synch Safari with my iPad over wifi - which is more straightforward than
synching Bookmarks via a web-based server with Atomic. This works very
nicely, and it gives me another way to work around sites I can't get
into with SM because of poor browser sniffing. Plus spoofing is built
into Safari if you enable Developer mode/tools. So I don't mind doing
it this way.
And as I have multiple Macs I've tended to do the same with them too.
