| Editor's Note |
| Apple's iPad is already a major celebrity, gracing magazine covers and capturing the attention of the consumer world. But it appears as though there may be a chink in iPad's armor (or aluminum casing, as it were). Buyers have been complaining that the tablet computer is having problems connecting to Wi-Fi wireless LAN routers. It's not clear at this point whether the complaints are due to a design flaw, a few faulty units, or just some finicky users. But the situation bears watching, particularly in light of Apple's stellar record of new product execution.
