I have the first generation iPad which I just got today...sometimes when I go to install an app it just stalls, it says "waiting" or it will say "loading" but the blue progress bar stops moving and it just stalls out. I am wondering if anyone else has had these issues or is my iPad defective??

If this does happen to you, what do you do to get the app to install??

Thanks in advance.
 
I get it on my iPad 2 from time to time. Usually a reboot will start the install again for me
 
Is it possible that you could be losing internet connection while the apps are downloading. Sometimes when you are downloading an app over wifi and switch to 3G while the app is downloading, the download will stop and a restart would get it going again.
