iPad Tip 37 - Quick Safari Scroll

You can jump up to the top of any web site - indeed any list - by tapping on the top of the title window. It's much faster than scrolling by hand.

iPad Tip 11 - Web Pages as Apps

Web Pages as Apps.

Instead of using bookmarks to get back to frequently visited web pages, consider creating
desk-top icons for those most important pages.
In Safari, tap the Add Bookmark icon (+), select "Add To Home Screen", and then tap the
Add button. An icon shortcut to the page will be added to your desktop.
