iPad: A Miss for its Wi-Fi Function

If you are a tech junkie you probably are already sick of hearing about the release of the iPad. It hasn’t been an official week yet and there are now thousands of articles about it. The latest news is about the Wi-Fi capabilities.

Many people have already returned the iPad because they are only able to get a weak connection or unable to connect after waking their iPad up from sleep mode. Apple has acknowledged the problem and has stated that, “Under certain conditions, iPad may not automatically rejoin a known Wi-Fi network after restart or waking from sleep. This can occur with some third-party Wi-Fi routers that are dual-band capable when: Using the same network name for each network, [or] Using different security settings for each network.” (source: wired.com)

If you were looking forward to using any VoIP apps on the iPad, this news could be very disconcerting. VoIP is a great choice for those of you who make long distance calls regularly. IP phone systems have become very popular in business settings as well—especially for those with multiple office locations.

The iPad has been foreseen as something that could benefit business workers on the go, but this first release of iPads seems to have missed the boat when it comes to VoIP. Or at least until it can get a handle on their Wi-Fi.

I can remember when a married woman would be mortally offended if she were called Miss, she'd hurriedly say she was married - and many women would sign themselves as Mrs. Henry Thingummy, or whatever the name of their husband happened to be. Of course that was back in the day when women were nothing if they weren't married...
