I've got an EVO View (Android). While surfing on this forum my screen jumps around like a mad rabbit. Are there any apps that will prevent iboats from being a jerk?

I have used my wife's Kindle Fire and I do know it is very very touchy for scrolling and when I try to enter text it is not fun.

Yeah - same here. I love my BB Playbook for portability but i've come close to busting a blood vessel when posting sometimes. In fact this very post i just now lost because there's no navigation buttons. Just tap lightly where you'd like to insert text. Problem is many times the damn interface thinks I'm trying to click on an ad and jumps to that page. Poof - post gone...Arrrgh!

I use the Dolphin browser and it works pretty well on my Asus tablet.

All I use any more at home is my IPad and I never have a problem out of it.

My iPad is so very, very slow on here I can't stand to use it!

Ive gotten past the coolness of the ipad, its much faster to use a pc.

Sometimes the pull-down menus were coming down behind the add banners. Can't remember if it was on the ipad or my Samsung note.

I just use the built in browser on my Asus Transformer Prime.....or sometimes firefox. Both work great. I have not had issues with either, except for that fact that I usually have to use my laptop because my wife rarely gives up the tablet.

Pony, definitely try Dolphin on your Prime. Blows the stock browser away.
