Alley_cat, you're right... I just installed an AirPort last night and over WiFi everything looks fantastic! For the record I'm getting 3G from O2 in the UK, so I guess that means they're compressing the images?
Looks like it.
I've noticed it too on my O2 connection and the image quality is abysmal.
A quick search hasn't yielded a solution - changing the O2 username to bypass in some setups apparently bypasses the proxy, but someone on O2 forums was asking before iPad was released, and the inference was that unless you had a long term contract, all the pay as you go type options didn't allow this to work.
I also tried a different server setting for O2 and it told me I had no allowance left - fortunately this went when I reset the setting.
I may try contacting O2 and would urge others to do so as it really I pairs the user experience.
Vodafone does the same with a USB dongle I have but in theory I can get them to disable the proxy.
Btw, I've just had the chance to have a proper play with my iPad this morning, downloading apps and stuff, and I have to say it's exceeding my expectations in every way (and my expectations were high!). What an amazing machine 🙂
