iPad 2 went on sale a few days ago in Apple stores around the United States, but people are already seeing problems. Some new iPad 2 owners are saying in the
MacRumors forums that they have been seeing yellow spots beneath the screen's glass in one or two corners of the iPad's screen.

| Yellow Tinge on iPad 2 |
The iPhone 4 saw the same problem at it's launch. Apple said that the problem was temporary, and that it was just caused by the fact that the glue in the display didn't have time to evaporate yet. Apple rushed the iPad 2 because they wanted to get them in stores as early as possible, so the problem is temporary, and should go away shortly.

| Light Leaking through the Edge |
Another problem people were seeing with the iPad 2 was that light was leaking through the outer edge of the iPad, and making a lighter spot on the LCD. The leaking light is more noticeable when the screen is dark, but still on. For example, a dark scene in a movie, or a app with a black background.
The first problem with the yellow spots is definitely temporary. The light leaking through doesn't seem like a temporary issue, but it could possibly be linked with the first issue. It you have a light leaker, wait a few days and see if anything happens, and then, if it's still an issue, take it to the Apple store and see what they can do about it.
