I can't say I'm surprised really, considering iOS5 put a relatively big strain on it already.

Added you a while back there, Javontax. Welcome to the club. It's pretty quiet around here. I suppose others may be experiencing some of the same thing we have: the device is now becoming a "how did I ever live without it" kinda thing. For me, I hardly play any games anymore, but it is an indescribably useful companion to my endeavors when working on the PC. I think it's even better than a second monitor.
I love my iPad, I use it every single day, and can't wait to see what Apple does next. Also,if you don't have it, you should check out the app called "Apps Gone Free" which is designed for the iPhone interface, but works fine on the iPad of course, and which shows a list of apps every day that are normally paid, and which for a limited time are offered free. It shows you right on the list if it's for the iPhone, iPad, or Universal.

I had that feeling after about 2 months of owning it. Now though, it's becoming more of a burden than anything else: it's laggy, apps crash for no reason at all and there is quite a lot of ghosting happening on the display (that is by far the most annoying though).

As for iOS6, I wonder what android features they are going to introduce this time (last year it was FOTA and the drag down notification bar) biggrin.gif

And with regards to the free apps thing, I have a similar app called "Apshopper" which also notifies you when apps you want go on sale thumb.gif

Interesting, what generation iPad do you have? I bought mine refurbished and I don't have any of these problems. Granted, it's only about a week old.

As for Android features, I'd love widgets, face unlock, and ICS multi-tasking. Those are features that make using my phone an absolute joy and having them on my iPad would be awesome.

I only really have 1 problem with my 1st gen, that is that safari crashes sometimes. But not nearly as often as it used to ever since I updated to the latest ios a few months ago. I suppose it's unavoidable with such little ram.

Apps I've had crash on me: Safari (try loading up techradar without crashing), MSN messenger, Youtube, Maps (very frequent), Infinite flight (once it has to load the gameplay), GTA3 (unless I clear all other apps first and reboot), Logo Quiz, Skyfire (when I try to watch a flash video of more than 360p in quality) and a couple of random others

I'm not so sure about that. I don't see why they'd drop support for the iPad 1 but not for the slower iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, although the 4 does have twice the RAM.

The same reason they dropped it for the 2nd gen iPod. Because of the hardware. The hardware is what holds it back. The 3GS is next in line too; but I think the 4 is going to stick around for a while. It's still a relatively powerful phone.

The difference is though that the 1st generation iPad is more powerful than the iPhone 4 and more so the 3GS.

I have a iPad 64GB wifi + 3G 3rd gen, and 2 iPad 2nd gen for work (incredibly useful tool for my pharmacists). smile.gif

I don't know how we were able to work without those before. Totally changing the way we work.

I'm not sure that's entirely accurate... (sourced at wiki)

The iPad 2010 (1st Gen) had a 1GHz A4 chip, and 256MB ram (which surely must be a big part of the lag some users are experiencing)
The iPhone 3GS has an ARM Cortex 8 (833MHz downclocked to 600) and 256 MB Ram (less than the 1st gen iPad, BUT...)
The iPhone 4 has an A4 chip with 512 MB Ram (A definite improvement over the 1st Gen iPad with twice the ram supporting the same chip)

So while it does hold true that the 1st gen iPad has better processing and ram specs than does the iPhone 3GS, it's not quite as kitted as the iPhone 4.

That said, if steelbom is right that iOS6 is coming to the 3GS, it seems then that the decision not to bring it to the 1st gen iPad (if that is in fact the decision they are making) would be a marketing strategy more than a hardware limitation. But that's not much of a surprise either. Planned obsolescence may not be something they teach in business school, but pretty much every corporation has figured it out nonetheless. Most manufacturers PLAN for (and design) the obsolescence of their products. This drives future sales, and Apple is very good at milking this truth. I kinda like it.

Edit: also, welcome to Levesque!
