Is it possible to update the browser for iPad1?

Kinda doubt it, but is it possible to update the browser for iPad1? If so, are their Apple instructions to do so? I believe my iPad Classic is version 3.2.2.

You can update an first gen iPad to iOS 5.1.1 (you can't individually update any of the built-in apps, you can only update the whole iOS version).

If your iPad is on 3.2.2 (Settings > General > About > Version) then you update to 5.1.1 via your computer's iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photosand any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharingsection at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to havea copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.

Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
