Verizon Ipad2 Recall (and a nice credit) (1 Viewer)

http://www.9to5mac.com/71615/more-news-on-the-verizon-ipad-2-recall/ Apparently, several Verizon iPad2s shipped with duplicate MEIDs, which makes them problematic. The units are being recalled and purchasers are receiving a $50 credit (or free accessory) for the exchange. Apparently only a limited number are effected, so only in a newer batch (If you've had one for a while, it's doubtful you're impacted). Just an error in the MEID firmware stamp, it seems

How's does one know if theirs in an infected iPad?

Apple store will check for free. And they will exchange you + give you a credit, so it's one of the better minor recalls out there. Only impacts the verizon units. Apparently, a certain shipment came over and they all had previously used MEIDs (from a prior batch) which causes network duplication issues.

40 miles away, haven't noticed any problems but I also haven't used the 3G service yet either.
