Shooting stars or scratches?

Anyone notice how the streaks in the sky background kinda look like scratches at first?

Exactly what my mom said when she first turned hers on.

heh I wonder how many people were freaked out by that. Apple's inside joke, maybe. ;)

The screen is pretty impressive. Very sharp.

My niece was playing with my iPad today and my sister took it away from her and saw the background and freaked out. Thought my niece sratched it all up! hah

I finally had to change to something a little less heart attack inducing, Stonehenge for the home screen and a Stormtrooper for the lock screen.

Oh I didn't know you could do separate ones.

Oh yeah! Check out the Wallpaper/Brightness settings. You can choose a picture for both screens or do them separately.

Wish my iPhone had this feature. Maybe when 4.0 hits...

Re: Shooting stars or scratches?

When I first went to the apple store to play with the iPad, I also thought the shooting stars were scratches. Since a lot of people thought the same thing, I wonder why apple chose that particular wallpaper. My first thought was "Wow...that screen sure scratches easily!"
