sounds like something's wrong with your SIM or account, call Maxis and have them check it

Documents to Go is better because it also can edit Powerpoint files too.
But its a little pricey at $ 14.99 compared to Office2 at $7.99

Docs To Go also mentioned that Free Update Coming Soon --> "iPad screen support"... Does it mean, it will make Docs To Go "Universal"? And people who have purchased iPhone version will get the iPad optimized version too?

UPDATE:

The wallet is available for pre order The Wallet

Anyone has both ipad and netbook (atom) for comparisons?

Never mind the touchscreen/gui capabilities but how is speed/performance for :-

1) spreadsheet/word processing
2) movie watching
3) net surfing
4) games

Thanks.

Awesome, was hoping that it would be a free update Guess I am all set then since I have the iPhone version. 14.99 is with the exchange support isn't it? I bought the 9.99 version at that time.

mAxPC - How's your editing experience using the Docs to Go (iPhone version) on an iPad...?

If I ever buy an iPad, it would be for this:

Not too shabby, word is okie, tends to preserve more formatting than Pages. Excel works just fine. I have not edited PPT before so not sure, only viewed it which I now use Good Reader for. The x2 mode really does make the fonts look fugly and since it is only x2 mode and does not scale, it really does not take advantage of the screen estate. That's my experience so far. I keep hoping for an update.

Haha thas why lah

I go home sure my 3 yr old hog my ipad. Free stuff like toy story, aquarium, piano thingie, doodle and other free games. She also use youtube to watch cartoon on demand. I just type in search for her than she just click related. With my ipod she would flip thru her pics n home videos.

Great! My daughter also just turned 3. Do you think the iPad is a worthwhile investment as an entertainment and learning tool, or is it just a fancy high-tech toy?

The iPad isn't in itself the tool, it's simply a new medium for learning tools to be presented for children. The apps are the most important part of the equation.

My kid (2 yrs old) is on my iPhone whenever he gets the chance. He loves his Thomas & Friends apps, Doodle Buddy, several of the apps from Duck Duck Moose, Monkey Preschool Lunchbox, etc. He learns alphabets, colors, counting, memorization, etc from those games. It's wonderful. He can operate the iPhone all by himself now. From waking the phone from sleep, to scrolling through the pages to find his fav apps.

I plan to get the 64GB version because my kids loves movies and it'll be great for traveling, which is what I do now with my 3Gs. All their fav shows/movies are on there and can keep them occupied when they are done eating at meal times at a restaurant.

Can't wait to get mine!

It depends, my kid learned the alphabet (among other things) from my iPhone so for me it was worthwhile.

My son sleeps with the iPad now.
May even get another wifi model to travel with paired with my future huawei 5830 purchase.

Thanks for the feedback. My kid learned alphabets, words, counting and colours the old fashioned way (Barney, flash cards, etc) but hope some apps can introduce more activities for her like read-aloud storybooks, sing-along nursery rhyme, etc. I wouldn't want her to be too attached to the iPhone/iPad, though, and would prefer real physical activities whenever possible. With that being said, I am seriously considering an iPhone/iPad now. Thanks guys

Don't get us wrong. It's not like the iPhone/iPad has replaced all conventional toys and learning aids. It's just another learning tool is all. =)

My kids still read real books and play with all their real toys 80% of the time.

anyone knw IPAD is officially selling at milan italy????i am refering to WIFI version only....any price to share???

exactly - my son still plays with his toy cars, reads books etc, the ipad is just an extension of that activity

Any idea how much is the shipping to m'sia?

uish, i wouldnt buy the ipad just to entertain my kid, dat kira spoiling oredi -.-'

i bought it as a web/media browser which i can carry around and store my folio (i designer mah, but not like that gay baldy fag on TV just kidding). i'm hardly a gadget-phile, which is why i dont mind when kids mess around with my stuff.

that said, an ipad is a bit heavy for kids to hold in their hand, an ipod is much more disposeable and ideal as a kids toy. i'd list the pro n con like so:

- ipod
pro: light, so easier to hold/carry around. for kids the size of the screen good enough for most interactive apps.

ipad: the big screen is better for drawing/reading tools. but too heavy for kids to hold up. my kid will tend to look down on the screen laying it on flat surface. not very good for posture lah. but the youtube is better and faster. and while video is still okay on ipod 2nd gen with speakers, ipad sound waaaaay better.

Do you think its worth to buy Docs to Go now and run it on iPad while waiting the optimized version release..?
