Text editing and selection on my iPad is a pretty shitty experience compared to my Android v2.3 phone... There's lots of web pages where it's impossible to select text (sometimes turning off JS helps) on the iPad but the phone does it fine. In some HTML text boxes it's just impossible to edit anything. Selecting characters within a word is painful, it's far easier on the phone as it has an optical cursor - later Android phones have dropped this so I wonder if they're painful too.
