iPad Issues + Dimensions of box

[Shawnstra]

Are there any major issues so far? I'm asking because I am planning to order the iPad via a service so that I can receive it here in Singapore. Thus it'll be difficult to make any exchanges (though possible with an administrative charge). Are there any problems? I saw in the forums with some scratches on the screen, etc.

Also, can anyone who has already bought the iPad measure the box for me? I need to know the exact dimensions for this service too.

Thanks

sorry for bumping, any help?

There aren't scratches on the screens. It's just that the defualt background LOOKS like scratches.

I have a dead pixel smack dab in the middle of the screen. Other than that though, everything else seems to be perfect.

No major issues for a vast majority of people. A couple of people on another thread reported a dead pixel; they will mostly likely get a replacement iPad.

Shipping box is L=29, Width=25 Height=11 (all in centimeters). The iPad box inside is L=25.5, W=20.5, H=5.5. Maximum error in measurement for each side is 0.5 cm. Remember the boxes do not include any accessories -- just the iPad, power cube and connector. Weight on the UPS notice was 1.5 KG (probably between 1.5 and 2.0 KG).

Thanks a lot. I have gotten these measurements somewhere else (I forgot) if anyone's interested. 11" by 10" by 4" This includes not only the box itself, but the brown cardboard shipping box.

Also, I realised that it doesn't really matter. The courier company will do the measurements for me and charge me accordingly.

Won't charge via usb

I've been reading that unless you have a Mac, it won't charge through USB. I've got mine hooked up to my PC, which has USB 2.0, and it won't charge.

I think that Apple should have mentioned this when I was getting it setup in the apple store yesterday.
