QUOTE(cheonwai @ Apr 22 2010, 02:21 PM) Got my iPad 16GB (wifi) from my colleage already and paid him total RM1,900/- for it (he incur some transportation charge due to purposely went to San Franscisco from Ohio to buy the iPad for me), i still feel worth the every single cents i spent la. The box is still sealed and i will only open it once i get home tonight... Attached the photo of my iPad that i just took in the office... Bro, You have a good sincere friend to buy for you at a very very reasonable price. You are lucky..... where as there are some sellers here exploiting the whole community by taking chance on all iPad lovers.... waiting to put my hands on one unit when time comes....or price go down after LYN iPad sellers calm down on their pricing..

QUOTE(tishaban @ Apr 23 2010, 09:55 AM) The US Apple Store won't accept non-US credit cards. Even with US credit cards they have some algorithm to scan where you're shipping to, I couldn't have an iPad sent to Borderlinx/DHL for example, the order was immediately cancelled. If it's anything from the Apple Store online especially an iPad you'll have to do it at an Apple Store. Amazon works fine though. Enjoy LA and dude, when are you jumping??? Same here... I used my Amex corporate to pay. Payment was accepted.. but shipping to Vpost / comgateway was rejected as Apple US sense them as freight forwarders and send me the mail cancelling my orders....

QUOTE(ntiongfeicai @ May 3 2010, 02:15 PM) Hi, just got my iPad yesterday. The seller helped me installed some apps. The apps were working fine, but once I connected the iPad to iTunes, the apps stopped working. When starting the apps, they would maximize and instantly minimize right away.I tried restarting the iPad but nothing changed. Can anyone help me? you need to Install apps through itunes only. When you install from outside (  ) and later sync to itunes, this may screw the entire thing as the itunes syncs everything... just check with your seller.. he's the one can help

QUOTE(akuadam @ May 4 2010, 01:09 AM) What kind of case bro ? Is it the normal Apple iPad case ? Machines -Megamall has some cases too........ all kinda' condom stuff priced at RM149 for silicon cases....... pricey and worthless.. No leather stuff or Apple ori' stuff is seen anywhere.. So sellers can bring Apple Ori cases to Malaysia and exploit all ipad lovers.. This post has been edited by keyven: May 4 2010, 09:39 AM

QUOTE(mAxPC @ May 4 2010, 02:55 PM) Was considering that earlier, but at the time it was not ready for shipping yet and ack the shipping cost was more expensive than the item. I am leaning more to the Speck as it allows me to use the dock, these book type cases tend to restrict access to the apple dock to the added dimensions unless I dremel the dock  I finally ordered one.... That's Here http://www.speckproducts.com/products/candyshell/ipad/235

Sellers always do it in the form of "help" by exploiting over the price...  .. nothing to get excited.... I am an apple fan who also paid a bit premium price to hands on the gadget of the planet..

Convert current apple US store price in to RM, free shipping... if launched...as simple as that.. For that to happen, you need to wait till August... on Merdeka Day, you may get your Ipad from Apple Malaysia....

QUOTE(ksc_3688 @ May 6 2010, 12:09 PM) not that easy calculation bro. for example, the 32gb ipod touch is sold at 299usd on Apple store US, and after converting, it cost rm980++. but the item is sold at rm1199 by our apple malaysia and their resellers. so for sure the price wont be the same and i have a strong feeling the price would be just a little lower than the prices that are currently sold here in Lyn. Add up ~~ 20% Gov taxation which apple bundles in.......... It's better from sellers..!!

QUOTE(avengers88 @ May 9 2010, 10:44 AM) 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 ? Don't compare apple and oranges. If you are a pc freak, this is not the right place for you.... iPad is unique...experience it first, then you will never look at conventional laptops..or net books..

QUOTE(aleluya @ May 9 2010, 02:09 PM) Apple never intends to replace any single pc in the market, laptop nor netbook. They created ipad in the first place is to you to have a brand new experience in web surfing, chats, mail and etc. Don't compare, if you like netbook, go for it. If you want ipad, go for it. It's all about perspective. Same theory as art, you don't enjoy the painting doesn't mean that we all aren't enjoying it  Well said.. suddenly some PC freaks jump in this thread and start divert...

For those who want to use a PDF reader in Ipad, I would suggest to use "CloudReaders" which is free and pretty fast on ipad....

QUOTE(echothreealpha @ May 14 2010, 12:37 PM) Haha, damnit. Anyway, I havent bought a hard case for the back of the ipad yet. Is that called wrapping? What are the best eh? The ones I saw at Sunway didnt really catch my eye. When you go to LY Plaza, at level 3 near escalator, you see some folks doing skins for phones. Ask them to do a clear one... should cost you around 70 bucks.. lot of forumers did there...  They use a high quality condom...
