3G iPad now seems sooo slow

[aygwm]

Upon upgrading my iPhone from 3GS to iPhone 4, I notice blazing 3g speed. I've actually gone from 800 download / 300 upload to 4500 download/ 1300 upload. Nice. Yet even though the iPad has the same chip, my speed is 700/250. Sure, there's more RAM in the new phone, but that can't account for that kind of speed increase. Is this purely a function of the 4.0 software? Anyone else's iPad seem now painfully sluggish? Do we think the upgrade to iPad 4.0 software in, sigh, November, will make this wonderful device zippier?

I guess iPhone 4 > iPad 3G ;-)

Just tested my iPad again on speedtest.net. 23.22 / 19.40 Mbps. About the same as my desktop.

Are you sure it's the same chip? I thought I read that it has the same as the 3GS and the new iPhone has a different one...

Also, the 23/19 speedtest mentioned above is on wifi, right?

Oh, sorry, I didn't pay attention, that OP was referring to 3G.

I just tested and got 2512 Kbps download on 3G.

Yes, I made a mistake. Sorry.

800 download?!? That's terrible. I usually get at least 2.5k at home. I will confirm that 3G in general sucks though, I remember when I first switched from evdo to 3G and was amazed at how much slower it was. Can't wait for an evdo or 4g iPhone.
