[Building Sakai] Request for review: Hide browser controls in PDA portal on Safari

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Nate,

I believe it will also affect the iPad version of Safari and will make it look more like a native application. This behaviour only happens if you bookmark the URL and then launch it like an app, if you just browse to it it will have no effect.

cheers,
Steve
