Doing a bit of snooping on our iPad3 to learn what browser is being used.
Apparantly this does not work on Android but there is a Settings menu location that displays current webkit browser version.

Click on your iPad internet browser icon.

in the URL address bar type in

javascript:alert(navigator.appVersion)

and press the Go button

Our iPad 3 displays a info box that reads

---
5.0(iPad; CPU OS 6_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebkit/536.26 (KHTML like Gecko) Version 6.0 Mobile/10b141 Safari/8536.25
[ ... OK ....] button
---

So it appears that our iPad 3 is using Webkit 536.26

ALSO look here for Safari browsers and webkit versions http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Safari/

Interesting. Will add this to our Webkit list of versions found here
