Does iPad3 crash browsing web much?

[MattSeven]

I have the iPad1, and often webpages will cause Safari to crash and I have to reopen. I've done everything I know to do about this and chalk it up to quirky Safari, inadequate processor, or both.

Is iPad3 any better?

No issues at all....But I didn't have any with the 1 or the 2 either....Have you tried restoring the device?

The 3 is a huge leap from the 1, and once you see the screen you are going to want one...Smooth as silk in browsing.

I've experienced that very thing with my first gen iPad, was very annoying. I believe I had safari crash only couple of times since using my new iPad (since launch) but nothing compared to my first gen.

IPad 3 100x better at browsing than 1. I still use my iPad 1 and going to retire it from the internet.

Going from a 1, to a 2, then to the 3, I would put most of the blame on Safari crashes on a lack of RAM. Using the same iOS version on both the 1 and 3, the same page would choke on the 1 and load fine on the 3. Though this is mostly anedoctal, I believe others have had a similar experience. I'll add that going from a single to a dual core also helps Safari performance.

Additionally, 1GB RAM makes for a much nicer multitasking experience. It swaps apps without reloading more often - and results in smoother app switching. On the performance side, the CPU does run at a higher clock rate [than the 1], not to mention a higher performance GPU (aside from there being four of them).

And don't get me started on the 3's display 😀

Exactly. The RAM. From day 1 most of us complained of how stupid it was to only put 256mb of RAM in a device made in 2010 that boasted to be a Internet beast.
