Redirect Ipad users to normal url instead of the mobile url after rollup 13

Question
-
Hey guys,
We have just installed rollup 13 on one of our test boxes. One of the main benefits we wanted was CRM 2011 to show up natively on the Ipad. What I have noticed in my testing is that when an Ipad user goes to our url:https://myTestBox.myCompany.com/
it redirects them to the mobile site:
https://myTestBox.myCompany.com/m/default.aspx
When I manually type in the proper url:
https://myTestBox.myCompany.com/main.aspx#
It shows up natively. My question is what is the best way to set it up to where if an Ipad user goes to https://myTestBox.myCompany.com/ that it will not send them to the mobile version. Should I just set up a IIS redirect or URL rewrite? Or is there a better way?
Thanks!
Bill
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
The way we've done this is added a bookmark + shortcut to the iPad home screen. The user clicks on this instead of typing the url manually.
Kids don't try this at home!

Hi,
This behaviour is OOTB and this is how it works for CRM 2011. Without main.aspx, it displays mobile version. As mentioned by others it is possible to use bookmark etc. to use the correct URL for CRM. CRM 2013 solves this issue and it works without an issue.
Hope this helps.
