What do you like better about the iPad 4 over the iPad 2? I'm trying to decide whether to try an iPad 4 or wait intil whatever the next iPad name will be. Some on this list have thought it could be as soon as 5 to 6 months.

My point was that an iPad and iPhone are both great but are different and will not perform all the same functions equally and I would have thought that more obvious.
