iPad browser that looks like desktop to website There are sites that sense the iPad is a mobile device. For example, Spotify. It will refuse to play in an iPad browser, while it works just fine on a laptop. It appears to be sensing what browser is in use, as do many sites that push a mobile version instead of the standard site. 

Is there any workaround for this? 

Additional note - Thanks for the answers so far. The desktop version requires Flash. This may kill the Spotify success, but great for sites that don't use flash, so I hope this Q&amp;A helps others.
Yes. Use a browser that allows you to change the user agent. Two examples are:


Atomic Web Browser 





Terra.
