iPad 2 - so who has ordered/obtained one (or more)

[drewbles]

Mine looks similar, although if I hadn't have gone into a pitch black room and intentionally turned the iPad off and back on to get the black screen, I probably never would have known. Still unsure whether to return mine for a replacement or not, I only have bleed in to places, both on the short ends, so not going to cause a problem while watching movies.

Absolutely loving the new iPad though, far more responsive than the iPad 1. Zinio flips pages instantly now, I never thought the first gen iPad was "slow" until I used the iPad 2.

I noticed mine turning it on for the first time on my lounge. In the lack-of-light of a dark Aircraft Cabin, or in a hotel room watching tv or movies at night (as I tend to do when travelling), it'll be damn annoying (most my movies are 16:9 format so you have the top/bottom black bars, so bright light bleeding out is fscking annoying!).

Apple said they 'have no procedure for fixing the issue' yet. I was told to wait another few weeks before going back. Not good enough really for an almost $1k device. They're usually good with this thing, but the reports on the internet about this being a wide-spread problem, and the iPad 2 having been out a nearlly month now (in the USA), it's pretty poor.

I picked up 2 64gb WiFi ones on Friday night. Put a call in to our Mac supplier and they had them in stock.. Was almost too easy!!

OK - I have the same issue it seems - having gone into a dark room and fired up the iPad from scratch. It is noticeable when using VLC and widescreen movies. However I can live with it for a few weeks and then once demand is lower I might look to replace....

Gday ladies and Gents

I am writing to you on my new iPad 2 (64Gb Wifi + 3G White). I got it from Big W at Garden City Shopping centre, Brisbane on Friday 1715 for $898 AUD.
My Wife originally had ordered one on apple's website, but take too long (estimated delivery was 5 May......... So I just shopper around and found some stocked at big W at a lower price.
I am yet to take my iPad 2 for a flight. We are heading to Fiji to visit relative in next month, I can't wayt to test it on the flight!

Happy flying and iPading
