Well, there’s the big news for the week. Despite the successful sales performance of Apple’s newest gadget, it seems that they have once again succeeded in selling to the world a device that comes with a painfully intolerable factory flaw (first generation iPod battery stories anyone?).
The only good thing about their latest problem is that not all iPad devices seem to be affected by it. What is scary is the possibility that the error is caused by a fault in the hardware and not the software.
Apple has not yet released an official statement regarding this matter. The only thing that the Cupertino based company has warned us all about is the possibility that the battery would not be able to deliver up to 10 hours of full use. Apple stated that they will replace the faulty battery on the iPad for a service fee.
The problem that iPad users are complaining about is the WiFi connectivity. It appears that some iPad units are unable to connect to WiFi networks –despite other wireless LAN devices being connected to the same network. Others have complained that their tablet is unable to maintain a stable connection.
While there have been many reports of problems similar to the above accounts, it appears that the problem does not persist in all the iPad devices (which is good since some buyers can opt to have their gadget replaced).
Aside from this, it appears that the rest of the United States is pretty happy with the new device. Many are stating that the touch screen experience when browsing the internet is very fun and easy to use for especially for people who are not familiar with keyboards and mouse controls.
