Jailbreaking will take care of the first issue (can't wait to jailbreak my iPad...).

I agree that there are some issues with it (it crashes frequently enough that I care), but, overall, I've found, overall, it is much better.

Features I use daily:

  * Pinboard current page
  * ReadItLater current page
  * Readability
  * Side-load to DropBox to pick up on my Mac
  * Youtube inside the browser
  * Ad filters

And so on...
