iPad WiFi Issues...

So there is plenty of talk about the iPad and its first major issue for some but not all owners of iPads. It seems that some users are encountering WiFi dropouts or weak signal when the iPad is laid down on a flat surface. Apple has released a support document regarding the issue and I would assume we would see a software fix for this in a future release. Until then here are some solutions to try and fix your problem.

Apple Support Document

Some users have also noticed the problem resolves itself when you increase the brightness of the iPad. This sounds very odd but whatever works right!

Either way let us know if this fixes your problems and enjoy your iPad...we still don't have one.
