When surfing the internet on the computer, many users like to launch a link in a new tab by right clicking the mouse in order to keep the current webpage open.

Apparently, the same way is not applicable to the Apple’s iOS devices as iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad is the touchscreen gadget.

WordPress App for iPad has been synced onto my iPad for quite some time. Not until earlier today, I only made setups for two self-host WordPress blogs in an intention to have some experience of blogging from the iPad.
