So after a few weeks of using this, I've found that there are some things I like better and some that are worse than androids which I am more familiar.
Better: The hardware in general is better. I like the heavier feel with the metal back compared to the Samsung that I've used. I don't really notice much difference with the retina display, but I don't really use it for movies or anything that taxing the graphics.
Worse: Apps. It seems that the play store has more and better free apps for android than the iTunes store. Everything from angry birds to office apps seem to charge for use, where I'm almost always able to find a free option for android.
Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to move a cursor around in a paragraph without using my fat fingers to point at the spot I want and hope it gets close. With all of the android phones and tablets there has always been arrows or a scrolling wheel to move around. I know it is a small thing, but I got used to using that to get to a certain spot.

For the cursor, point to a spot and hold your finger there for a second. A magnifying glass will show up with an accurate cursor. Don't take your finger off the glass or you will lose it. When you have it where you want, pull your finger away.
You pay with all those stupid ads, which I hate. I would rather pay a couple bucks than had ads all over the screen. You also pay because you sell your soul and data to google and don't even know it.
I tend to agree on the app selection. I find a lot more cool apps for my android phone. Maybe it's because I choose different types of apps for a phone.
Btw-is there any setting that I can change so that it doesn't require me to put in my password every single time I go to the app store?

That helps, thanks. I think I still prefer arrow keys, but maybe I'll just have to get used to it.
I don't really care what Google collects. I don't keep sensitive data on the cloud and I don't search for anything that I am worried to let anyone see. I prefer my Ukrainian brides of age and purchase my music. But I can see why someone who doesn't being nervous.

Consumer Reports has DOWNGRADED ALL Android tablets.

If you honestly think Apple doesn't do the same thing you're flat out nuts (I'm not being a hater - I'm buying an iPad and probably an iPhone later this year. I'm just not the delusional fanboy that you are)...

"There is no such thing as a free lunch."
In other words, all those ads inside "free" apps are causing all sorts of potential security threats.

Exactly.
I don't own one but it makes sense that the iPad3 with more battery volume could run warmer than an iPad2.
just wanted to weigh in on the display ipad2 vs ipad3. i sell them at work and we have one of each sitting side by side. no one can tell which is which until told.
I thought the same thing when we were looking at them at Best Buy, until we turned on the same movie on each. We still went with the iPad2 because of what we use it for though.
This is probably true, most porn stars are pitching wedges at best I'd guess.
I only notice it when I turn my brightness all the way up, which is very rarely. I usually use it at 50%-60% brightness and it doesn't get warm at all.
