None have music on them, the phone is for that.
11,000? I'm not surprised its crashing.

I have 11,000 apps in iTunes on my Mac.
No way they could fit on the iPad.
On the iPad mini with 128GB I've got 496 apps. And that's not that many. Some Navigation apps, some travel apps, some separate books, some games, some entertainment apps...
No movies, no music.
But: Should the iPad (or any other tablet) allow for the installation of 11,000 apps and I've got all of them from the legitimate App store, of course I still would expect the OS to be stable.
Why should any OS become unstable, just because the storage is almost filled up? If, for example, the OS would need let's say 5GB available space for some kind of swap-file or anything like that, the OS shouldn't allow to fill the storage entirely...
I've used iPads 1 to 3 and the original iPad mini intensively.
I can't remember any of those ever crashing.
And my other tablets, Android or Windows 8, don't crash either.
(Well, Android from time to time and 1 of my Windows tablets sometimes as well. But way less frequently and I can kind of reproduce what makes them crash).
I can understand, if those low-powered tablets briefly hang in a complex task.
But crashing?
What makes me a bit nervous: My iPhone 4S, since the update to iOS7, frequently crashes as well. Especially deleting some SMS seems to be critical.
So, from my personal experience, I tend towards blaming iOS 7.
Anyway...
I guess I'll exchange the iPad. Maybe (hopefully?) I have a "Monday unit"...
