iPad launch marred by technical glitches

Apple sold more than 300,000 iPads on the tablet computer’s first day in stores, the company said yesterday, but reports claimed that some users had problems connecting to wi-fi networks.

New owners posted comments on Apple forums saying that their iPad had little or no wi-fi signal, where other devices worked fine.

The initial version of the touchscreen tablet computer connects to the internet only via wi-fi. Commentators have speculated that the problem could be a weak wi-fi antenna, located behind the logo on the back of the iPad.

“Casa de Trevino” from California said: “Having same problem with wi-fi being weak and constantly fluctuating. I have to keep entering my password to regain access to my network after having lost a signal. Two iPhones and two MacBooks showing full signal with no interrupts. Certainly hope this is fixable. Too pricey of a toy for it to have this issue right out of box.”
