Slight misunderstanding here, l was replying to the OP
No problem as I knew who you were replying to. I totally agreed with the part about the OP letting Apple know as only Apple can fix the guy's issue. I disagreed with the part about posting here will not help you.
I disagreed because forums are for people to come and post issues. Now granted this may/may not be a bogus issue and time will tell, especially if no one else complains about this issue.
And yes it is always strange to me when someone joins a forum just to post something of this nature, especially with the comment, "I got the first of many bad ones."
I did a google search as there are several other iPad forums on the web and no one else has mentioned this so it is obviously not widespread if an issue at all.
So anyway I hope my take doesn't upset you but I feel the OP had the right to post and I will check my wife's 10.5 when it arrives hopefully later today.
