I been reading the stories and seen the videos, however, I hear people are still saying the problem persists?.
 
...

Not nearly as much. Safaris tab system sucks anyway may as well use icab

Yes and quite often.

Ugh no? Actually it really never happens. Not in my experience anyways. Then again, I don't have needless amounts of tabs open all the time either. The lack of refreshing has been my favorite part so far of the iPad 2
 
Internet is fast, tabs are not constantly refreshing even with 9 open. It happens far less at least. The experience is much better.
 
With the Ipad1 I used Atomic browser and I only had 3 tabs open but it always keeps refreshing if I switch tabs. Now the issue is whether to go for V2, if it happens rarely then yes I be happy but if not not sure if its worth it.

It still happens and it shouldn't. Don't try to excuse Apple.
 
In rare occasions it does refresh but it's not a big issue for me. It's better than the iPad 1 by a whole lot.
 
But how much better is it for day to day use?. I mean the issue is I love the Ipad but its primary main use was for browsing. If it keeps refreshing all the time then its going to drive me nuts like before. Heck, even my HTC Desire Dolphin Browser does not even refresh with 6 pages open and its a fricking mobile.
 
Slight improvement?. Thats a complete farce then if watching the youtube videos, I was under the impression the problem was corrected.
 
There is a reason it does that... If you use a Mac you're not bright enough to understand why anyway.
 
The issue is not fixed.

Infact I'm writing this post with my iPad 2 and I changed tabs in safari while writing this post and the page refreshed.
 
5 tabs open in Safari right now: this thread, MR Forum Spy, a Wiki page, and a couple of simple pages. I just flipped between them randomly, and none of them refreshed. I'm positive some would have with iPad 1. If a page does refresh, it loads significanty faster. As others have said, it's a much better experience on iPad 2.
 
Yes they still refresh for me but not as often or even close to as often as before. I thought it was supposed to be fixed as well and saw in reviews that it was..... But it isn't on my end for some reason or anyone else in this thread.

It is better for sure however. I think the issue must lie in the page itself, perhaps what kind of content/ads that it is running. Just a thought.

I have to say I was quite hesitant about buying an iPad just for this reason. But after playing with mine for awhile, I have yet to have ANY refresh of my open webpages.

This is true on my iPad 2 and wife's brand new iPad 1 (verzion blowout sale).

I can't believe I'm the only one with no issues?

Um why not? It has 512mb of ram and apps are suspended in ram as well. It depends how many apps you have running. The more you have, the less is available for tabs. What is the need to have more than 3-4 at a time anyways? I just don't get it. As apps need more ram, it will get rid of tabs. Simple really. As long as you don't leave too many apps "suspended", you won't have a problem with refreshing tabs
