using ipad 3 here... one thing i dont like ipad is that its frequent need of refresh when you browse internet whether u r using safari or chrome.. I usually open 3 or 4 tabs, the first and second tab will always refresh when I get back to them..

yes, frequent lag here and there can also be seen with ipad 3 especially with ios 7 though I think ios 7 is better than ios 6 in some cases but i havent tested ios7 properly... i have samsung galaxy s3 as my primary phone and the lag is actually comparable with ipad 3 though lag in s3 can be sometimes annoying especially in games (experience with galaxy tab is expected to be many times worst than samsung s3 but not with the new nexus 2013).. you cannot find this much with ipad 3 at the moment..

my old first gen ipod touch cannot be used at all... the lag after I updated it to latest ios is unbearable.. cannot install many apps including many basic apps.... so i guess over time, ipad 3 will also be like that, but not in maybe 2-3 years... just dont expect it can hold its smoothness forever...

i am currenty using surface rt... love its remote desktop ability and ipad will never get that as it is only available with microsoft product. experience with other remote desktop softwares will never be the same as using the Microsoft remote dekstop connection... i still keep my ipad for the games (my wife is currently using it)...

i guess ipad mini is many times better than samsung tab 2 10 inch in smoothness, apps, and hardware... i always suggest people to buy ipad instead of any other android tablets, except if you want to go with the nexus brand...
