The WiFi seems quite poor only showing one bar when my laptop shows 3-4 bars. But it does load HD youtube videos pretty well.

Unfortunately, there's not really anything you can do to fix it, unless you feel like taking it apart and cutting holes in the back. Erayd (23)

Same issue for the new iPad too.
Wifi signal reception is terrible. iPhone gets 2-3 bars where the iPad gets one.
I have read reports that the wifi-only models are far worse, 4g is better because of the plastic bit at the top.
