Hopefully we will know this soon.

I'm not 100% sure but the general info I managed to gleen about iPad1 is that it's "Compatible" with Wireless N, but it's not really a N device.

Something about it only having two antennas inside and you need more than that to take advantage of full N speeds.

As many have commented, and puzzled over, during the past year when their macbooks etc get a faster connection over their home WiFi than their iPad.

There is a website that technically explains the iPad's limitations in this regard and why it can't take advantage of the full speed on offer on a N network.

I'm hoping Apple have fixed this for the new model so we can get the full speed on the iPad2 models.

Till we get a teardown I guess we'll not know. Or someone who has one now does some testing against a modern macbook.
