iPad 2 Glitches Emerge

By now you've probably heard of the alleged Facetime freezing and backlight bleeding issues facing iPad 2 owners.
PC World can't verify them, and there's no indication these glitches are causing serious problems for consumers. We can only acknowledge that people are discussing the issues online -- and promise to keep tabs on them.
Here is a quick rundown of a few possible iPad 2 issues that are drawing chatter on support forums and elsewhere:
Finicky FaceTime
As reported earlier by PC World's Jared Newman, Apple's support forums are seeing a growing number of complaints saying FaceTime video chat freezes after being used for the first time.
The problem is solved by restarting the iPad.
Backlight Bleeding
More problematic than glitchy FaceTime software are the reports of iPad 2 backlight leakage. Some iPad owners, perhaps most famously Cult of Mac's David Martin, have noticed uneven patches of light showing up around the edges of the tablet's display.
Martin took his original model in to be replaced and an Apple Genius noted that the replacement also suffered from the same problem. Sounds like a manufacturing problem that will need to be resolved in the future.
Camera Issues
Cult of Mac heard reports of wonky colors popping up in a few frames of video. Writer Brian Sweet said he noticed the problem in his iPad 2 since launch day. He isn't sure if the problem is hardware or software-related.
Sweet took a two and a half minute video driving through a car wash and noticed the issue popped up three times.

Apple has been know to have issues at launch. The 2nd Gen Nano, iPhone 4, etc. I believe it. I am never a released day buyer of apple products...
Yeah I'm the same way. I usually wait a little while before actually getting something from Apple. I keep hearing about that stuff and that's probably why I don't like going to releases of Apple because I know I would be like one of the people that have problems with their product.
