I've been playing with my new 64gb iPad LTE and I really like it. I had the original iPad and also an iPad 3 (yeah, buying 2 iPads in one year kinda sucked, but nobody twisted my arm). The differences in the 4 vs. the 3 are there, but definitely not super drastic. The 4 is faster, I've mainly noticed this when gesturing through open apps (or at least it seems more responsive in that regard). The lightning connector is nice too. I know changing form the 30 pin is a real pain for most people, including myself, but it plugs into the devices much easier now (this is most noticeable when your in a dark room or vehicle at night).
So what would we like to changed in the current OS of this iPad and also what are the hopes for the 5th gen? Personally, I'd prefer to see the split screen keyboard changed around some. One thing I liked about the mini was the size of the keyboard when holding it vertically and typing with thumbs. It's great that we can split the keyboard on the iPad to make typing easier, I just wish that the split keyboard was a little bigger, maybe increase the size 25%.
I'm personally not too concerned with the thickness of the iPad, IMO it's already thin, but I would like to see some weight dropped off. While it's not heavy to carry around, lighter would be an improvement.
What else would be nice to have changed?

. I'm like the OP. I buy each iteration and with a growing son, and a bride that also enjoys iOS, as well as a business that's literally been transformed by both iPad and iPhone alike...it's always been an easy decision. This time, with a quick 7 month turn around, I debated a bit. Bought the 4 on launch day...backed up from my '3' and loaded up Early Edition with my RSS feeds...and was completely floored by the speed increase when updating the daily paper. Easily three times as fast and that's not embellishment!!!
