The initial excitement over the iPad is beginning to settle down. Apple is, without a doubt, the most innovative company when it comes to visual design, applications and marketing. A few people will admit to buying Macs because of their seductive designs, but the majority justify buying the overpriced hardware because they think that Macs are flawless, never crash and never get viruses. Those are myths, something my wife, who has worked on one for years at a newspaper, can attest to that. My main complaints against Apples are the pricing, which I think is exorbitant in comparison to PCs which are equally good for graphics and the fact that PC desktops are expandable.
But I digress. The point of this blog is to address the first issue that has come up with the much-hyped iPad. There's a problem with the WiFi connection. You would think that the company did better testing, but at least it can be fixed. That said, I'd be livid if I spent all that money and it didn't work. One of my pet peeves is when sales people don't know enough about a product, you buy it and then have to return it because no one mentioned that the product doesn't work with your standard software.
I am a very cautious consumer. I've always embraced new technology, but at arms length at least until the second generation came out to remove the bugs from the first one.
