In the apps, yes, but not in a browser. Unless you set Youtube to HTML 5 but not all videos are supported.
Moreover, did you ever upload an image to this forum (or any other site) via the iPad browser ?

And the reason I stick to iOS 4.3 is the jailbreak, the advantages of iOS 5 do not beat the advantages of a jailbroken 4.3.3.

But most couch surfing I do with my Galaxy which is far more versatile than iOS. Skysafari looks better despite the smaller screen because black == black and not dark blue as on the iPad. During observing I now use the Galaxy S2 in a red foil sleeve rather than the iPad.

The iPad is now being used as a Wordfeud console by my girlfriend, but the JB (and thus the SSH and web server) is still in it which make it much more usable.

iOS is a good and well-designed OS in many things better than Android, but the strict limitations make it useless for me other than a simple game or other simple app console.

But Mac OSX is the best OS I have ever seen. No silly limitations I can just use it like Linux. I have Ubuntu and Windows 7 also under VMware the latter used for DSS.
