U need to use the iPad charger. Should be very fast.

That's very true, lots of apps are US only. Search on LYN, there are people selling US iTunes gift cards.

I purchased quite a lot from MY iTunes account.
I think only Pages, Keynotes required to have US iTunes account.

I am currently waiting for iMindMap for iPad, only because it comes from Buzan, so it will follow the laws of mind mapping as set out by Tony Buzan. There will be several others coming onto the market as well.

If it is not urgent, I think the best thing to do would be to wait, and see who comes out with the best implementation.

Thanks for the reply warlockimran.
I have just purchased MindNode. Quite a simple app to use. No frills but enough for my daily usage.

How about this mindmap app from iThoughts. Looks tempting to try it out.

Good app but a little pricey ($7.99) because it is only meant for iPad.
MindNode is Universal.

Guys , with the price of ipad . We could already get a good Acer
laptop . May i know why u guys pick ipad instead ?
It doesnt have usb port right ? and duno whether it supports
microsoft word documents and files .
Mind explaining ?

People buy iPad for various reason. I suggest don't buy an iPad because other people recommend you.
Try to understand your needs first and then ask the members whether the iPad have that solution or not on iPad.
so - do you mind sharing with us - "what exactly you are looking for in iPad?" (other than just USB port..)

Is it wise to get a 3G model in Malaysia?
I've been told that it's as good as getting the wifi one.
Can anyone enlighten me on this case.
Thanks.
*
You should buy the iPad 3G if:-
1 - You have the extra cash
2 - If you are willing to spend another 3G unlimited service
3 - Willing to cut the simcard (if current operator is not supporting the micro-sim)
4 - Willing to wait much longer (June or July etc)

You can check 'Things' out. I haven't tried it on iPad personally, but use it on both iPhone and MacBook, and love it.

One warning though, it is one of the more expensive apps at USD19.99. It depends on how important the To-Do app is for you. I use it for work, which has made it totally worth it for me.
*
That $19.99 price for personal use stops me from buying it.
Anyway, my "List N Do" app ($1.99) would be sufficient for now. tongue.gif

After watching the vid, I am tempted to JB my iPad just to see how well this would run smile.gif Using the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard I tend to place the iPad away from me and I have to reach out to touch the screen to perform certain task, having this would alleviate that hehe

Edit: Just tried, dang if you want to use both the Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse you have to download the free BTstack Mouse and pay for the BTstack Keyboard because it requires your native BT be turned off lol

Edit: BTstack mouse works with my Dell BT TravelMouse but can see a tiny bit of lag but other than that works just fine, can't use the scroll wheel though.

I am tempted too!
Wish my Magic Mouse can be use with the iPad...! biggrin.gif

Hmm was looking for a To Do app as well.

Goodreader is awesome for its price PLUS if that "mount USB HDD to iPad" hack gets improved, that means I can have access to my media ON THE GO. Oh yes, yes yes.

Now all I need is documents to go for iPad...

I just drag and drop PDF files to my GoodReader app in iTunes... So much easy to transfer files..

I think we can get ipad 3G with a much cheaper price from Maxis. They might sell them with 2 years contract like the 3GS but without simlock.
I think only ipad wifi will be selling at apple dealer stores only.

No need to change the iPad with Malaysia account.

When you get "Updates" notifications for the Apps, ensure you are login on the same account which you originally downloaded the apps.

Of course you can.
In fact some apps labeled as "Universal" (the + sign) will be able to use on different devices.
Otherwise, other apps which are not labeled as "Universal" will not be optimize for iPad screen.

Guys - how do you protect your Email from prying eyes?
The moment you click Mail app, instantly you can view the contents. If some people use your iPad, you cannot prevent them from viewing the Emails... So, what's the solution?

have you even try to buy apps from itunes on your PC?

no go. i tried to buy ipad apps using MY account, it keep denying my billing/credit card info, although i make sure my details are 100% correct and triple checked, they still deny it.

i think it's because they don't allow non-US credit card purchases.
*
This is how I buy and download apps:-

1) From iPad - Need to login App Store using US account. ONLY FREE apps can be downloaded.
2) From Laptop/Mac - Login App Store / iTunes using MY account. Can download BOTH FREE and Purchased Apps
3) From Laptop/Mac - Login App Store / iTunes using US account. Can only download FREE Apps

NOTE: My US Account don't have any credit card. Also I don't have any iTunes Gift Card. Thus, I can only download FREE apps.

Not mistaken the only avenue is to jailbreak the device and use an app from Cydia called Lockdown.

Thus, no way to Restrict Mail using any other means than JB, eh?
I think Steve Jobs thinks iPad is meant for personal use only...

Of course it syncs to the account that you log in.

how can u so such ipad is categorised as computer
while it certainly not.

Yes, I heard in some airports that they don't request the iPad to be taken out for security check-in unlike the Laptop. Thus, proves its a PDA rather than a computer.
