iPad Progress Report

Now that the 300,000 early adopters have had a few days to play and work with their iPads, we're moving beyond the "first impressions" articles (but here's a video of a 2-1/2-year-old's first encounter with the device). The detailed reviews aren't out yet. The largest source of early complaints is a complex of problems with Wi-Fi reception. Apple has posted a technical support note implicitly acknowledging the problems and suggesting some work-arounds — specifically, changing SSIDs or encryption methods on base stations that offer both 2.4-GHz and 5.8-GHz signals. Finally, here's a detailed look at the gratuitous pain Apple imposes on those desiring to get iWork files transferred from and to the iPad.

Come now. It's been years since the MacOS was single tasking. They had that whole takeover of Apple by NeXT that fixed that problem. (the native Apple developers couldn't code their way out of a cardboard box when it comes to a multi-user multitasking OS- they spent millions proving that in the 90's)
