After the 2nd or 3rd tablet one would think "seems like a good idea" would have become "seems like a bad idea". You also didn't even mention why you stopped using the 3 other tablets you bought after having bad experiences with your iPad2 and HP Touchpad. Your iPad2 example sounds like a software problem? And regarding slowness, have you tried a factory reset? I have an old iPod Class gen5(?) from 2004ish which became very usable after a system update (6 months ago) and a factory reset. I use it now mostly for streaming radio from various websites, all of which load fast enough.
