We’ve been getting a steady stream of news since we broke the Verizon iPad 2 recall news late last night.  Apple has given all the stores a list of serial numbers to scan, if it’s a match we were told to set aside and ship back to Apple, these are only for Verizon ipads. Why is Apple pulling these?  Verizon iPad 2s aren\’t being sent back due to engraving. If someone activates a cellular connection on the device, then wants to view or edit account information, they can’t. I bought an iPad2 on Wednesday (6/8) from the Apple Store in Louisville, KY.  Had trouble doing it on the iPad, so I called Verizon for assistance.  Thanks!
