Apple on Friday said it is investigating reported issues from customers using the Verizon iPad 2 3G.

In an eight page thread on Apple’s support forums, customers describe the iPad as searching for a connection, but never being able to connect. Sometimes a hard reset will work, other times it won’t, according to the posters.

The issues does not appear to affect users on AT&T’s 3G network.
