The Apple iPad Tablet PC is finally getting an OS update! To install the update, you’ll need to plug your iOS running device to Mac or PC with iTunes 9.2 installed in it. Apple today released iOS 3.2.1 for iPad, addressing a number of issues including Wi-Fi connectivity problems. The complete list of fixes includes: Improved Wi-Fi connectivity, Fixed an issue that could prevent copy and paste of single-page PDF attachments in Mail, Addressed an issue that could cause video playback to freeze, Improved reliability of video-out when using iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter and Added Bing as an option for Safari’s search field.
This update seems to have fixed my wifi connectivity problem. I have a Verizon ActionTek router and prior to the update my iPad would lose its connection (that is to say, it would require signing in again with a password) at least once or twice an hour. This was despite having tried all the numerous “fixes” suggested by Apple such as turn off 802.11B compatibility, switch security protocols, etc. etc. Since the update I have not had any dropped connections.
