iPAD TECHNOLOGY NEWS AND iPAD FREE APPLICATIONS

Apple recently released a statement regarding the international launch of the iPad. Here is their official statement from Apple Media Advisory site:

Although we have delivered more than 500,000 iPads during its first week, demand is far higher than we predicted and will likely continue to exceed our supply over the next several weeks as more people see and touch an iPad™. We have also taken a large number of pre-orders for iPad 3G models for delivery by the end of April.

Faced with this surprisingly strong US demand, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the international launch of iPad by one month, until the end of May. We will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders on Monday, May 10. We know that many international customers waiting to buy an iPad will be disappointed by this news, but we hope they will be pleased to learn the reason—the iPad is a runaway success in the US thus far.

WASHINGTON DC, United States—Apple said Tuesday that the iPad model featuring 3G cellular connectivity will hit stores in the United States on April 30.

Customers who pre-ordered the 3G model, which also features Wi-Fi wireless connectivity, will receive their new tablet computers on the same date, Apple said in a statement.

The Wi-Fi-only model of the latest device from the maker of the Macintosh computer, the iPod, and the iPhone went on sale in the United States on April 3 and the company sold over 500,000 units the first week.

Apple announced last week that heavy US demand had forced it to delay the international release of the iPad by a month, until late May.

The Cupertino, California-based company, had planned to begin selling the touch-screen tablet computer in late April in Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and Switzerland.

Apple confirmed Tuesday that it will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders for the iPad on May 10.

The iPad allows users to watch video, listen to music, play games, surf the Web, or read electronic books. It runs most of the more than 185,000 applications made for the iPod Touch and the iPhone.

The cheapest iPad model, with Wi-Fi connectivity and 16 gigabytes of memory, is $499 while the most expensive—which includes 3G connectivity and 64GB of memory—costs $829.

Apple shares were 0.35 percent lower at $246.21 in early afternoon trading on Wall Street.

According to Nick Farrell of theinquirer.net, Apple has admitted that Ipad can't do wireless very well.

The device came out last saturday and after a day the Apple message boards have been full of complains from the Ipad customers. Here are some of the complains:

Ok. I used speedtest.net app both on iPhone 3GS and the new iPad. I clearly see the difference.

iPad download speed is 1.83 megabits/sec whereas
iPhone 3GS download speed is 14.77 megabits/sec

Upload speed seems comparable.

Also iPad uses 802.11 n and iphone 3GS uses 802.11 g. I do have N router.

Common apple send out a fix now. Disappointing.

I am having the same problem with dropped WiFi. The iPad keeps asking for my password for the network it is supposed to be logged into. It seems to happen even when the iPad is not moving around. It does not happen too often (a few times a day) but it is annoying. I have a DLink DI-624 router which is a G band router. Hopefully this will be a software fix from Apple once they are able to track it down.

This could be a potential big issue but I believe Apple will surely fix it soon. And from what I read, it's not all of the Ipad were affected, only a few one.
