Wow, so if you bought your luxurious Apple iPad for school and university use, it might just be that your purchase was in vain.

Many universities are having problems with the way the iPad connects to the Internet and are having to block the luxury device.  Princeton University has had to block more than 20% of iPads due to “malfunctions that can affect the entire school’s computer system.”  Sigh, Steve Jobs, sigh.

While universities are scrambling to figure out how their students and faculty can use iPads and not disrupt the connectivity across the school, more tablets are being announced that will probably not have this problem.
