iPad 3 out!

But the iPad 4 will be out soon!

I find that hard to believe

Android is based on Linux, and developed by google who are known to write reliable software.

Wait for the iPad 5 mate, Siri will speak to you that you need to install the latest version of Flash Player.

Android never crashes for me either.

The applications running on it aer a different matter altogether but android does handle their crashes quite gracefully

I only have a select few apps that seem to be professionally written and maintained, obviously if you install a piece of crap some bob has written in the expectation he will be a millionaire in a few months then its going to crash. The OS is rock solid that includes the built in browser etc.

iOS is based on BSD and NextSTEP, and developed by Apple who are known to write reliable software.

BTW, a lot of Google's code sucks. They are particularly incompetent in web development, oddly.

Yeah Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps and Google Docs are terrible , you are obviously clueless about software development.

Coming from a dimwit such as yourself, I take that as a compliment

Anyway folks, here's what somebody who's actually used one says: "It's the best display I've ever seen. Anywhere, period. And it makes a meaningful difference to the experience -- it's not just a spec." - iPad 3rd-gen first impressions - gdgt

No arguing the iPad isn't a good product, I have the 1st version, I was just saying that android is on a par if not better than iOS.

google ... are known to write reliable software.

No they aren't. Nobody gets to see Google's real software, it all runs on secret servers.

You don't need to see it to know its reliable, you can tell by the fact the google is always their waiting for you with uptodate search results in milliseconds. Are you saying any of the forum members could write some as good as that????
