[[File:Thunderbolt.png|frame|left|'''[[Feature Release Symbol | <center>NST 2.15.0<br /> SVN: 2777</center>]]''']] The [http://wiki.networksecuritytoolkit.org/nstwiki/index.php/Getting_Started#NST_Web_User_Interface_.28WUI.29 NST WUI] is now touch device friendly. The '''[https://www.apple.com/ipad/ Apple iPad]''' has been tested and works well with the NST WUI including integrated gesture support. Given the relatively large display size, form factor and weight of the '''iPad''', it is really the first practical touch device that can be used by a network computing engineer or a security network administrator to perform operational NST WUI tasks. Other smaller size touch devices like the '''[https://www.apple.com/ipodtouch Apple iPod touch]''', '''[https://www.apple.com/iphone Apple iPhone]''' or an '''[http://www.android.com/ Android]''' smart phone also work but are hard to visually navigate through the NST WUI.

= '''Recommended Browsers & Settings''' =

== '''Apple iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad''' ==

=== '''Safari Mobile''' ===
The default browser for the '''Apple''' touch device family line is '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_%28web_browser%29 Safari Mobile]'''. The latest version: "'''IOS 5'''" supports ''tab'' browsing which works nicely with NST. It also has a '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript JavaScript]''' debug console. '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics SVG]''' is supported on this browser. 

=== '''iCab Mobile''' ===
The recommended browser for using NST on an '''Apple''' touch device family line is the '''[http://www.icab-mobile.de/apps.html iCab Mobile]''' browser. It supports full screen browsing thus maximizing the viewport display area which gives the illusion of a natively running application (app).  '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics SVG]''' is supported on this browser. 

&nbsp;

== '''Android Touch Devices''' ==

=== '''Dolphin Browser''' ===
The '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin_Browser Dolphin Broser]''' provides full screen browsing and touch gesture support making it an excellent choice for running NST on an '''Android''' touch device. Unfortunately '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics SVG]''' is '''<u>Not</u>''' supported on this browser.

=== '''Mozilla Firefox Mobile Browser''' ===
The '''[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile Mozilla Firefox Mobile Browser]''' provides full screen browsing support with the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/full-screen-252573/ Full Screen]''' plugin making it also an excellent choice for running NST on an '''Android''' touch device. This browser supports '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics SVG]''' for '''Android'''.

=== ''Google Chrome Mobile Browser''' ===
The '''[http://www.google.com/mobile/ Google Chrome Mobile Browser]''' works but does not support full screen browsing. It is still a nice choice for running NST on an '''Android''' touch device. This browser supports '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics SVG]''' for '''Android'''.
