I have found no other browser than Safari which will launch a Storyline course on an iPad, but I see other threads that discuss browsers other than Safari running Storyline HTML5.
Are these references to testing HTML5 in browsers other than Safari or are there production uses of HTML5 beyond Safari?
I have used Google Chrome on the iPad to launch Storyline HTML5 output. I experienced better performance than Mobile Safari. I believe Chrome has a more robust implementation of the HTML5 standards.
You can't really be sure how those browsers react when dealing with reporting (it would depend on the browser and - I assume - on the LMS too), so you'd have to test to see which of the two (Skyfire or Mercury) play nice with your LMS of choice.
Another solution might be Puffin (the last one in the bunch) which does a decent job displaying flash content on an iPad I believe, but if you intend to use an LMS, the performance hit may be a dealbreaker.

Hello Sam,
I recently tested for this exact thing, here are my findings.
Chrome : Does not work
Skyfire for iPad : Works
Atomic Web : Does not work
Mercury Browser : Works
Puffin : Does not work in html5, works in flash.
Hope it helps,
Alex

Were these tests run from an LMS or just stand-alone HTML5?
Standalone HTML5.
