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.
WTF is that?

How exactly is this a problem? Just buy an apple airport wireless extender and problem solved.

Soon? My first Linux tablet was in the mid 80s.
That's impressive. Especially since Linux was created in 1991.
And only a AC would not recognize a whoosh moment.
Um, wait..
In the reported cases only the newly released iPad is having problems, but according to Apple the problem is with your router.
Well, obviously. If you have two devices, one of which is perfect, and a problem, obviously the device that is not perfect is the problem.
What do they teach you kids in logic these days?
In ten years, linux will have a support for the kernel operation time_travel which allowed someone to bring a penguiny-tablet to 1985. Hence GP's comment!
Next year Apple will announce iPhone OS 5.0 with an innovative new idea that they're calling "iFile". With this new service all of your applications can share documents by storing them in a common location. iFile will include an innovative system of organization called "Folders". Folders will allow you to group related documents together in a single location. You will even be able to create Folders within Folders.
And coming in iPhone OS 6.0, "iFile Share". Share your iFiles over any network connection.
Requires sticks. Dimmer than the sun. Lame.
Is Gnutella like a free Nutella?
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
