my og ipad mini 1 is still very needs suiting for streaming videos, but its very slow for pretty much everything else

thing is, there isn't really anything else i use my iPad for.
everytime i look at the app store its filled to the brim with note taking and task reminder apps, so i end up just going back into netflix.app

it would be p nice to have a retinal display and touch id, but what good is that for streaming dvd quality garbage over the internet?

someone help me get my finger on the pulse of today's hottest iPad apps

ya, loading up safari and then trying to type something into the search bar is majorly laggy

whenever I think about using Safari on the 'Pad, I have to stop myself and fetch the Macbook.

tablets have only ever been for browsing the web (very slowly if on ios) while watching tv. if u are watching tv on the tablet then u are eliminating most of the usefulness of the tablet. why would you not just watch tv on the tv?
