And that Apple advert is so patronising, who doesn't understand how it works? It's a big touchscreen tablet with the iPhone OS, how is that hard to understand? Not magical at all.

Still a great device, I just wish Apple wouldn't be so hyperbolic and condescending. Really turns me off and it creates a legion of fanboys.]]>May 11th 2010 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/
It is, in the sense that there rarely is any communication from Apple about the defects in their products. They fix it sure enough, but so far it has been very rare of them to talk about it before it's available. ]]>May 11th 2010 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/May 11th 2010 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/And the update will come at a very reasonable $10 mandatory donation for original iPad owners.

Very well said, sir +1

And yes, I'd wager using an Apple router could very much be the reason for your lack of issues. Most devices tend to work best with other devices of the same brand. That said (and as you stated) it's inexcusable for said device to have sub-par performance with those of other brands when you're promised optimal functionality regardless of what it is your using]]>May 11th 2010 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/Can I give you a hug?

I got the definition of 'assumption' for you, If you read above you will clearly see I made it clear I was making an assumption

2. The act of taking for granted, or supposing a thing without proof; supposition; unwarrantable claim. [1913 Webster]

why all the bitterness, mate?

As my good friend Captain Planet on Joystiq once said: It never ceases to amaze me how you trolls can stay hype on apple's chode and comment on engagdet at the same time.

Troll?? LOL

You and your like are all over Apple threads on Engadget, when you claim not to own any Apple products or be in the least bit interested in them.

Here's what one of my friends said:
"If I think it's crap, but the marketplace thinks it's vastly superior, the only way to resolve this paradox is to assume that the marketplace is profoundly stupid and duped by Apple's svengali-like marketing. Because it couldn't possibly be that I don't have a freaking clue what people want."]]>May 11th 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/

you do know that effective marketing is far more powerful than any actual product right? Any good salesman and marketing person will tell you that as a matter of fact. You can market a complete turd well and it'll still sell in the boatload. Ever heard of PET ROCK? Talk to an ad man, he'll set you up with some knowledge on the issue.

A popular product does not equate to it being what the market wants, nor does it equate to it being the best product.

Critical thinking.]]>May 11th 2010 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/

Odd thing is that the screen brightness have a impact on wifi.

Sounds like they are using PWM brightness controll and that is adding noise to wifi signal.Might be fixable with software but not easy. They have to synchronize the wifi radiio with backlight leds.

If my guess is right I wonder if the iPad passes EMC tests with all screen brightnesses.]]>May 11th 2010 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/May 11th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/May 11th 2010 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/apple-promises-to-fix-ipad-wifi-issues-in-future-software-update/
