Hi all
I know we had discussed this browser previously when it was a Beta release but tonight in my Apple update for iTunes it included a download for Safari no explanation it was just there. Now as i am a big fan of the Safari based browser in my Nokia's i of course was excited so downloaded it and am now using it.
WOW is all i can say it really is lightning fast no seriously it is much quicker than anything else i have ever used it also has lots of nice customization options to set it up the way you like. So far i have only changed the font to my favorite and the size i like but navigating and opening Web pages is blazingly fast so far i am very impressed and really won't consider using anything else. The only thing that does concern me is the way that Apple have chosen to start spreading to to all iTunes users.

I've just been trying it for the first time. I got it in a quicktime update rather than an itunes update.
so far not bad so I'm going to give it a good go. I've been impressed with safari that comes on the iPhone
I can see I'm gradually moving towards mac... oh no!

lol, I'm going to have to get the quoting here fixed! 
it doesn't seem to have picked up my IE favs but I'm sure Apple would have thought of that so I'll have to dig a bit deeper

Hi Boba
As i said it was in my Itunes update but should be also on the Apple Downloads page which can be found here.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/
@Massuer
Look in bookmarks and it has options there to move all your Bookmarks over.
@all
Well it's been a while now and i must say IE7 is about to be deleted and i have previously tried Opera and Firefox and so far this blows them out the water. It will be while before i need a new Laptop hopefully but yes i will look at and consider a Mac next time, oh and the built in spell checker is a dream to use no need for the Google toolbar just for the spellchecker any longer.

yeah, thanks, I found the bookmarks but unfortunately, although there is a built in youtube link, when I click a video it can't find the flash player.
I even clicked the link it gave to install the flash player (again) but still it gives the same error when trying to view the videos

Hi Masseur,
If you go here and install the Flash Player Plug in it then works well it does for me

thanks, yeah the link there is where the link on the failed youtube page took me
so I uninstalled and reinstalled the flash player and now it works in safari but not in IE7
can you not use the flash player in two different browsers?

you can go to http://www.apple.com/safari and download it
anyway, safari is good but I don't see a way to open more than one tab when I open safari so that is a showstopper for me
also no matter how I tweak the font settings I can't get it as clear as IE7

On a mac you just press command plus T for a new tab not sure what it is on a pc, surely there is a way to do it.
