I tried opera, and it has the same issue. I don't think this is a question of what technology runs on the iPad or other tablet, as much as the design of the menuing code. For example, the drop down menus on http://ecovillageithaca.org work OK, because they can be activated either by a mouseover or by a click (that site runs joomla and uses Moomenu).
If sipx is using some standard Java libraries for menuing, perhaps this change will come automatically with an update of that library, or perhaps there are other menuing libraries that could be easily adapted.
