I'm considering buying an iPad, and I have a question: is there no browser on the iPad that allows you to choose whether you want to the mobile version or the regular version? If not, that's almost a deal breaker.
Yes those browsers are available. Chrome has a "request desktop site" option and my personal favourite, iCab Mobile, has an extensive list of agent strings (custom ones can be added as well) that can be set.
I honestly haven't run into a site (except this one) that forces mobile sites on you without allowing you to opt out - however, I also use Chrome, so my being a mobile device may not be properly detected yet.
