iPads having serious wifi, heating issues

[Tegeril]

It gets hotter then 35° C outside most days in the summer......

The iPhone has the same operating threshold: http://grab.by/3BuK - Where is the news here? There have been some reports of heat related messages with iPads, and *gasp* iPhones too!

Vultures swarm pretty early these days...

that page is obviously a lie, Apple has only truly sold 247 iPads!

Well, the thing must be a lie, no iPads can access the internet, and the ones that do are overheating.

Shit, mine blew up, I'm in the ER right now with iPad explosion related injuries. I'm pretty sure my right eye is gone, and half of my face. 😱

better post a guard, cause Steve Jobs is on his way to steal your other eye!

Maybe you have to pay extra for an app to make it stop overheating and to have wifi work. Kind of like offline PDF support.

Does it have PowerPoint (or similar) support? I would get one just use for giving presentations.

Keynote ($9.99) can handle Powerpoint files easily.

Hmm, according to jobs, Apple sold 450k ipads. According to your link, they sold 500k. Why shouldn't I believe Jobs over your link? Also, Jobs was not clear by 'sold'. As most people believe, sold includes to stores. That means a lot of those ipads could be sitting on store shelves.

EDIT: They've lowered it to less than 500k but their graph still shows 600k. lol.

According to the GDGT live blog.. he said that Best Buy stores were sold out.. insinuating that sold actually meant sold. Not just sitting on shelves.

That's interesting because I saw a lot of them yesterday at BB when I went to check out the Macbook Pro. Maybe Jobs was talking about the BB around where he lives?

Yea, that's what I had heard, so I thought it was interesting he said they were sold out.

One theory is that the aluminum back casing is blocking too much of the signal, or that it's a software issue.

Yeah, the reception does suck. But the casing isn't aluminum. It's just plastic painted metal colored. However, metal color paint has actual metal flakes in it (usually aluminum) so the general idea of the article is true.

A lot? BB were only getting 15 per store in their first shipment. If they hadn't sold a single one you should have only seen 15, which I wouldn't consider a lot. But hay, that's just me.
