Watched a video on CNN that showed the parts breakdown of the IPad, and what the estimated cost to Apple was for each part. They calculated that the base Ipad that sells for $499, cost Apple $250 to build. Nice little profit margin for the first week of sales. Aren't they on the fast track to surpass Microsoft in overall sales, or have they done that already?

How about your WiFi signal? Apparently there's been multiple complaints the IPad can't get a strong signal when working with it far away from the router...

Weird. I've not had any problems, but then again, I live in a small house so That could br why. I did notice limited connection at the office, but it's kind of spotty anyway... Even on my laptop.
