Troubleshooting
As I write this, the iPad is barely a year old and in its second generation of
hardware—quite young by technology standards. When something truly
new comes out, not just an update to something long familiar, we expect
to run into problems that the engineers could not have anticipated under
lab conditions.
And yet, the iPad is surprisingly stable. Since receiving my original model
on the first day they were available in the U.S., and now including my
iPad
, I've experienced maybe a couple of dozen application crashes and
only one hard freeze that made the iPad unresponsive—all easily fixed.
