\"ipad_medium_size.jpg\"In addition to confusion over charging that we covered<\/a> yesterday, a number of other issues have come to light to mar the iPad’s debut. <\/p>\n

The most common, according to Apple’s iPad support forums, are weak and intermittent Wi-Fi signals<\/a> and overheating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The heat issue might make the beach bums ReadWriteWeb mentioned earlier<\/a> as early adopters default to other devices – or make the long move to Peter’s Sink, Utah<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An additional issue is the apparent inability of the iPad to handle IMAP push email<\/a> from Yahoo and others.<\/p>\n

Some of these and other problems<\/a> may be the normal shaking out process of a hardware launch. Some may be genuine design issues. But some, like the “not charging” messages people were getting yesterday, may turn out to be a result of a multitude of expectations. Some expect it to behave like a phone, others like a laptop computer- and in some ways it does neither. It could be some time before expectations, and limitations, are established. <\/p>\n

These issues, again, are rooted in the responsibility of manufacturers in setting those expectations. Were these limitations noted prior to launch? If so, were they not communicated out of a fear of limiting sales? <\/p>\n

ReadWriteWeb has been evaluating the iPad<\/a> extensively. How has your iPad experience been? <\/p>\n
