Strange iPad behavior, possible virus or defct?

[Ultrimate]

I was using my iPad today, and it kept shutting down and it would boot up again and I would have to stare at the apple logo for like 3 min!
But when it would resume all my safari windows where still there?
Also I would type some tin and it would lock up and then I would exit safari and return only for it to lock up again!
I'm afraid some tin is wrong, but I thought of what new thing I did to it, I used a USB extender I got at dollar store for a buck, and this maybe the reason for this strange behavior, I just unplugged it few min ago, so far so good, nothing freaky..

Has anybody used a USB extender and got strange behavior ?

I don't recommend extenders for ipads reduces voltage which can cause problems.

This was proven on another forum

Lol, well I didn't by the USB extender for iPad, I had it laying around and need more cord, so I just tested it to see if it worked..

But yeah, figures it would freak out wit a dollar extension, haha.

Anyway, Im gonna buy 1 on eBay made for iPad.

Anyway, I disconnected and iPad is back to normal now.

Why do we need one?

USB cables at the dollar store are worthless.

You're going from the dollar store to eBay... are you sure that's a step up???

Our Apple store in Toronto sells a ten foot iPad USB cord made by Griffen. It works well.

LOL! They come from the same place don't they....

Nix that. EVERYTHING comes from there...

Uhh maybe becuz the ac cord that comes with the iPad is only 10 inches like and I would like to use iPad when charging and not be like a foot away from the ac outlet, lol

You don't have a normal extension power cord lying around? Then you wouldn't have to buy a USB extension cable from eBay. Much more versatile.

What do you expect for a buck?
