You'd still have trouble explaining that to a judge. The hotel has a reasonable expectation that if the traffic says it is coming from an iPad, it's actually coming from an iPad, and you don't have any non-infringing excuses to be using an iPad browser on your laptop.

If they advertised the plan as an ipad plan, there would be a point. But if the plan is advertised as all-purpose, but only offered to certain user agents, i don't think there's any legal issue.

"I was testing our company's iPad website last week, and forgot to switch it back to the native user agent."

iPad simulator as an iOS/Web developer?

[jiggy2011]

pedantic issue but if your are advertising the service as "ipad" then would you be allowed to use it with (say) an android tablet?

It seems a little arbitrary otherwise espeically since people use the word ipad synonymously with "tablet" like "ipod" for mp3 player.
