New iPad WiFi Issues?

Another potential iPad issue being blown out of proportion. Some people have posted on the Apple discussion forums claiming that their iPad gets bad or slow WiFi reception. So far, less than 100 people have voiced a complaint, and it seems an overwhelming majority have not experienced any issue. 100 out of 3 million? I'd take those chances.

If you happen to come across the WiFi issue, don't worry, it seems to be a software bug. There are four things you can try (and it seems any of them will work).
The first would be to switch WiFi on and off in Settings.
The second option is to go into your WiFi settings, and tap the blue arrow next to the network you're on. Tap "Forget this network" and then log back in.
Third, you can reset all network preferences from General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will delete all your WiFi passwords too, so be sure you know them.
Finally, if you've tried the other three steps, try switching the iPad off and on. It could be that simple. Most users are reporting that one of these options fixes any issue.

Personally, I haven't had the issue with my iPad, and it seems that most users have not either. In fact, the WiFi connection on my iPad is better than my iPhone 4, and only a small amount slower than my MacBook Pro. Yes, the iPad can pull down data only slightly slower than a Core i7 MacBook Pro. Of course, that has a lot more to do with the internet speed, and less to do with specs, but hardware specs do play a role in these speed tests.

So, if you happen to be an incredibly unlucky person and experience WiFi issues, try resetting your connection in one of the ways I've listed above. Also, as long as you're one in a million, why not try playing the lottery? But be sure to avoid any situations that could involve a shark attack, just in case your luck goes the other way again.

What Is The Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion?

Will Sony (once dropping the Ericsson bit becomes final) be adding a model to its Xperia line of Androids called the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion? That's the latest theory going around, thanks to the discovery of the product name in a trademark filing with the USPTO. Just what might this hardware end up being?

What is Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion ?

For the moment, at least until we learn something else that helps to narrow-down the field any, the Xperia Ion is a potential name for any of the Sony Androids we've learned of being in development. We recently saw some pictures snapped by the thirteen-megapixel LT28at (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion), and its Bluetooth SIG paperwork claimed the phone would see a release in North America, presumably continuing the Xperia name. While nothing specifically ties it to the Ion, it's as good a possibility as any.

There's also the possibility that the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion will be a new name for some hardware we've already heard identified, like the Nozomi. This seems like a less likely possibility than something like the LT28at (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ion) taking the name, but it's still one to consider.

Sony Ericsson Reserves Ion Trademark for Nozomi Phone?

Android-maker Sony Ericsson has filed for the XPERIA Ion trademark for what is speculated to be a variant of the company’s codenamed Nozomi smartphone, which boasts high-end specs. The LT28at model is believed to be a variant of the rumored Nozomi phone with a 4.55-inch display with a 1280 X 720-pixel 720p HD resolution screen.

The trademark was originally filed on December 13, and it’s unclear what name the phone may be released under. Previous speculations had it that the Nozomi phone would be branded as an XPERIA Arc HD handset.

The device may be introduced by the handset maker as early as CES this year, or a year after the XPERIA Arc was introduced at CES 2011.

In addition to the high resolution screen, the LT28at is believed to have a 13-megapixel camera, giving it the most megapixel of any phone released so far in the U.S. The previous title went to Nokia with its large 12-megapixel camera sensor and Carl Zeiss optics on the Nokia N8, which also had a Xenon flash.

The LT28at is rumored to also support 4G LTE alongside HSPA+ on AT&T’s carrier network.
