All the fun of the fair .......... Hundreds of pounds/dollars to buy a huge phone.

Apple iPad
Many Apple fans couldn't wait to get their hands on an iPad

Some owners of the newly-available iPad have reported problems with connecting their devices to wi-fi.

Hundreds have complained about weak signals on the tablet computer.

Apple acknowledged on its support page that "under certain conditions, iPad may not automatically rejoin a known wi-fi network".

It offered a fix, but suggested that it was a router issue, despite some users saying that other devices worked fine on the same wi-fi connection.


Ah, but the thing is, it doesn't even work as a phone. Or have a camera.

No USB ports from what I understand, no camera. Two things being released in the next i-pad clone.
As with everthing Apple, release a good product, that is missing some of the most basic elements that will stop it being a great product, charge an absolute fortune for it because they know the sheep will pay for it and not complain, because they think it makes them look cool. ::)

Missing basic functions that all the clone/copies will have. Apple have done it again, got the customer to buy a product and beta test it for them, hats of to Apple for that one. Still at the end of the year iPad2 will be released (at a slightly inflated price.............remember the second gen iphone?)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

My friend and I both think the iPad isn't great. You'll get more functionality from a netbook. (netbooks are much cheaper too)

ARGHHHHHHH!!
It even tells you the weather, when it's wet it's raining, when it blows off your face it's windy, when it burns off your face the thunderstorm is getting close. No internet needed!! The iPatch, coming to stores this fall!!!!! ;D

I do love my iPod touch, great music player/portable gaming system.
Apple's motto does seem to be iStealYourMoney, though. :P
