Also, post whatever differences you may have noticed. I have noticed less lag while opening app folders, increased browsing speed, better frame rate during games, and just all around a very snappy and fluid experience.
Keep my iPad 3, this was the easiest decision ever.

I upgraded but i will upgrade to 5, 6 etc anyway. It is great in anything, ipad3 is slightly slower, wifi speed is better on ipad4, using skype with new front camera is much better on ipad4, lighting seem preferable type. So, it is done and cost just $200 since I sold ipad3 for $400.
I was pissed off when Apple released the 4th gen. but I finally bit the bullet and bought it. Everybody knows what's upgraded in this generation and I'm not gonna say everyone of them again for the sake of justifying my purchase. However the improvement in WiFi speed is quite significant (65Mbps -> 150Mbps), which was most obvious when I restored the device through iCloud, it was fast! Also I am outside of the US so the 3rd gen. didn't support the LTE network in my country. I can say the improvement is very tangible.
Yes, it is much improved wifi. I have dead spots in my house before and not now, speedtest on same spots showing large improvements. So, yes ipad3 is very good tablet but outdated in many points. I am sure iOS7 will effect performance and ipad3 will be on brakes running it.
The ipad 3 sucked so badly that I forced my sisters x2, my wife, my brother, myself, my friend to sell their pos ipad 3 on eBay and upgrade to ipad 4. Ipad 3 can't even do iBooks right.
Also despite saying they didn't need it (females especially) all thanked me after having ipad 4 for a few days

I sold the wife's iPad 3 with the intention of getting a 4. But after thinking it through I backed out because the iPad 4 just feels like a placeholder for a much better iPad update. So for the price of her one iPad 3 we got two iPad Mini's.
If this unexpected update taught us anything it's that we no longer need to get sucked into the incremental upgrade cycle.

...I couldn't be happier.(Textastic sold me...Only thing I really need a 'computer' for is scripting... but I can upload to my iMac and SSH to run stuff).
