Can you guys comment on the backlight bleed? Flicks perhaps (all black jpg in dim room)?

Congrats!!!
 
Got 16GB Wifi in Japan

So here is some bad news. I can detect noticeable dark areas between the led illumination along the left side. You can easily see that they have 7 white LEDs and right at the edge there are slightly darker areas between them. I could have a bad unit, but I'd like to hear more feedback about other people's experiences.

I'd say it depends on how big they are, some bleed to a degree is normal. I saw an Aussie who got his early posted his screen earlier and it had some, but they were small which isn't bad. When they are the size of a nickel or penny and look like blobs of light (last years iPad 2) then that's a problem.

Can you post a picture?
 
Got my iPad in hand! Waited for it at Walmart. When I got there at 930pm I was the 5th person in line. By the time midnight came around there were over 50 people waiting for it. Lotta resellers in line too. My Walmart had 55 iPads for their first shipment and sold all of them.
