Apple's Actual Official iPad Wifi Troubleshooting Statement:

"Move the unit closer to the Wi-Fi router or hot spot and make sure the Wi-Fi router is plugged in and the power is turned on."

Makes you wonder how many of those 300,000 units sold are being returned and refunded today...

I'm sitting in the San Francisco airport right now waiting for a plane to Australia, typing this on my MacBook Pro tethered to my iPhone's 3G service. It really works well.

Meanwhile my Apple stock is up to 239, their market cap is $215 billion, and Mark is pregnant with Steve Jobs' love child.

As soon as there is a Max/MSP version for iPad I'm going to Best Buy with bells on. The device has the potential to be a $400 box that could do what the Jazzmutant Lemur does. I would also immediately scan all of my charts and sheet music into it (like those expensive things Herbie Hancock and Peter Gabriel always use. I forget the name...) so that I'm not always carrying around my binders. I could also see it greatly decreasing my travel carry on as it would immediately replace my MacBook Pro, (since most of the time it only functions as an email/Hulu/Netflix box when I travel as a player) the power supply for the computer, and on average 2-3 books.

Another interesting thing that I read today is that the FAA said you don't have to take an iPad out of your bag for security like laptops because of the way the innards are arranged. Now if they could only realize that you similarly would have trouble putting a bomb in Chuck Taylors… wink

And also interesting, I read a rumor today that multi-tasking is coming to iPhone and iPad with tomorrow afternoon's software update. I think that is going to prove more useful on iPad than iPhone, but I guess you could stay signed into an IM program and take a call for instance… And also the ability to print from iPhone/iPad.

Thanks Josef. So far being in Melbourne feels surprisingly unlike being in a foreign country.

Dan, I think they have to have multitasking. If you have to quit your word processor to check something online, it's a non-starter as a laptop replacement.

Yeah. Agreed. I'm sure that Apple is doing the same thing they did with iPhone: get it out there into as many peoples' hands as possible as soon as possible with 100% working features, and then keep adding additional features with software updates when you're sure they don't suck.

There is a background task enabler that has been floating around the Jailbreak community for years, so I'm sure it's can't be that hard to implement in the OS itself.

Considering WinMo has been multi-tasking since inception, why is the iWhatever superior again?

Because it's shinier! That's apparently what appeals to these morons, since they'll blindly buy anything their messiah tells them to.
