One problem I had with the iPod touch was that streaming videos sometimes (but not always), even on YouTube, is a bit laggy for me. I usually watch a few seconds, wait for it to buffer, then watch a few more seconds, and then watch the video from the beginning in order for the entire video to load smoothly. I might be getting an ipad so the question is, does the ipad stream videos a lot faster over the same Wifi connetion at my home compare to my iPod touch.
Got a tip for us?

YouTube streaming works great for me. Loads damn near instantly even for high def videos. Definitely something I'm not used to seeing on the iPhone.
I agree. It's a better experience than on my iPhone. Must be because of the better antenna so the connection is better? Whatever it is I love it.
My wifi only iPad doesn't have a steam option; is that only on the 3G model??
I'm sorry I could not resist.

It's optional.

So I'm guessing the general consensus is that it does load videos a lot quicker compare with iPod touch over the same wifi connection?
