what i don't understand is if the ipad and iphone run iphone os which is basically a mobile OS X, shouldn't they all have the same networking stack? mac os x in my experience has always been pretty epic at connecting to wifi networks. i wonder why the ipad would be any different?
YOu gotta be effing joking... Why do Apple fanbois always come to blame it on some other device. Even if the other device is the issue, which is a standard by the way, Apple should have done their homework since the main feature of the device is Wifi.
@jonshipman It is an "n" problem. Im almost sure of it. I keep my iPad on the g network now. Oh, BTW... I have all Apple 1st party dual-band routers. Its NOT a 3rd party issue. The signal drops a lot when even a short distance away from the TIme Capsule, but it also experiences speeds that CRAWL. 802.11g should not be slower than n, but in thas case it is tremendously so.

It could be that the location of the wifi (supposedly behind the apple symbol on the back) is less than ideal.

I believe it's just a problem with N routers, the iPhone doesn't have 802.11n the iPad does.

The FCC pictures place the antenna at end of the aluminium backplate, not middle. That would explain the reception problems.
