hi guys, i got my iPad wifi version and have been enjoying it for the pass 2days. However, when i bring it out then only i realize how inconvenience to find a hotspot to surf...

kinda regret it, should have waited for the 3G version cause i didn't know the 3G can be used with any telco as long as the sim can go in. sad.gif

if i'm going to sell it and buy the 3G it's going to be a big waste of money lol. bah maybe i'll just stick to it since i sort if use it for educational purpose. sweat.gif

dont worry, you can either:

i) use your mobile phone as a 3G router
ii) buy a 3G wifi router and have TOTAL connectivity even in the car/train
iii) sell your ipad and wait for the 3g version

i'm going on option 2 as i also travel to places with limited wifi.

hmm actually you have a point for the router, at least i can share the connection using other laptop/device.

but after using the iPad for 2 days i can see the monster battery life i can literally sit in starbuck cafe whole day and i won't run out of battery. i believe using the 3G will still provide longer battery life...

maybe i should just stick with option 2...but the 3G is really tempting lol. sweat.gif

the battery is quite robust...i charged it fully last night, didn't use it till tonight and it was still 100%.

after some heavy surfing it went to 84% which is very respectable. I think jailbreaking affects battery life but still unsure.

if you're selling that ipad, trust me you can get a good price for it.

Localised warranty means the ipad can only claim warranty from the country where it is purchased/sold... and Malaysia is not one of them....

ah, looks like i prefer the 3G version than the MiFi solution, cause i don't need worry about the battery life and i've read that the 3G version seems to last just as long as the regular WiFi version.

still considering selling my 64GB iPad WiFi...

yeah..the battery life same as wifi version..better buy 3g than wifi...but for me, i rather wait until ipad officially lunch at malaysia then i buy 3g version..for now better stick with wifi version 1st

i believe in first batch "gambling".

i bought the N95 8GB before, pretty new that time but AP set, use until now 2 1/2 year also the slider rock solid despite i dropped it few times. i've also read that when the iphone hit singapore, lots of people return the iphone because problems with the screen.

on the other hand, first batch of the product will also carry chance to have bugs and manufacturing defects.

so i rather gamble on the first batch production. since it's unlock, i don't need to worry anything anyway. maybe accidently destroy my sim card... laugh.gif

neighbors down south getting theirs in July, with the end of May for Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK, guess there is nothing going on in June. Wonder which time period we are getting.

Sg getting only in July means typical Msian trend of being slow shud be Sept or even Oct? Those waiting for local launch n $499 pricing gonna get a few white hairs. laugh.gif I'm actually hoping the launch take longer so our premium priced iPads got longer wow factor. tongue.gif
