What's with the iPad 2 Crashes

I don't know whether this is an iPad 2 issue, an iOS update issue or both, but it is driving me a little crazy. Programs, YouTube, Safari are all crashing to the desktop. It isn't like it happens every 30 sec., but 15 to 20 times a day, my iPad 2 reverts to the desktop. There isn't enough specific repetition to say it's a certain Location where it occurs. There is one website, www.gelaskins.com, that is guaranteed to crash when I scroll thru it's pages looking at skins for my iPad. I have soft reset the device several times. The iPad 2 is awesome, which makes this glitch more infuriating.

27" iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Can't say that i've had any issues, only had it for a week but it has been flawless so far. Have you tried a restore?

I have the same problem, my iPad 2 even restarts randomly :s..

It's a great piece of hardware, but is really annoying.

It could be an issue with insufficient ram?

Had mine since release day, never crashed.
Did you restore a backup from an iPad?

Do a full restore and set as new.

Today, a Genius at my Apple Store fixed two major things for me that two calls to Apple Care didn't come close to fixing. Hunter at Flatirons Crossing Apple looked in my settings, turned off all the things that were checked under Spotlight Search, and it hasn't crashed since. The other was helping me to get back my lost data after Restore that was threatening my quality of life!! Thanks, Hunter!!
