You mean the startup screen that shows when you power off the iPad by holding down the power button for several seconds? I think I've only done that once since getting the iPad and didn't notice any flashes, but I may not have been paying close enough attention.

I don't see any flashes when just turning it on when the ipad is sleeping, if that's what you mean.
 
apple adding more resolution to your screen

White dots are pixels being born ( no need to worry),
but look out for dead pixels (black dots) as they can haunt your vision.
 
Yes I noticed the flashes on two different ipads. I made a thread on it here but apparently nobody else noticed. I'm sure all ipads do it.
 
This happened to me today. COD Zombies took a fart on me after I registered. The sound went out and the game was freezing.

I restarted the iPad and it took a while to boot back up. It actually timed out. I had to press the button again and then I saw the logo again and it booted.
Right before the main screen came up I noticed the "flashing dots", about 2 or 3 near the apple logo.

OP is not crazy.
 
This morning I stepped on my iPad. thankfully I didn't make a full step on it. Anyways i turned on my iPad and turned it back on and I seen that white specks. I was in a dark room when I seen it. So I'm hoping that is just normal and not something to really worry about.
 
White spots on the startup screen are a side effect of jailbreaking.
Unjailbreak your iPads.
Haha, no it's not. You're thinking of the multiple-colored line of pixels after using Jailbreakme.com. Greenpois0n didn't cause any such thing. Did Limera1n?
 
I'm on iPad 2 16GB, iOS 5, never jailbreaked it,, and noticed those white dot flashes during startup, too.

Tested on another iPad and happened the same. I think it is normal.
