i did not state no international warranty for ipad at all i believe they'll most likely do the same with ipod warranty.  smile.gif

I did not point to you. I meant to ask openly. And curiously. Cause the official policy is a bit misleading n unclear.


@Eithanius, I'm cool. No worry. Just that it's misleading when they put such thing. Cause I can't answer my clients based on assumption. Will try to speak to Apple soon.

Reading that policy hinted that they might revised it based on situation. And maybe
the 3G model will have different policy due to telco involvement.

OK OK, just off the phone with AppleCare....
My question:
"Does iPad come with international warranty? As in I bought one in US (Obviously), then I left the country and having issue, do I get support outside of US (for support & warranty claim)?"

Answer:
"We are still not sure yet. We have to wait till it's available worldwide."

So, it's still not a firm thing yet.

If you were to type a lot, be sure you are on the right pose. For typing both hand, best is to use horizontal mode. I'll recommend to get the case where it will lift the iPad up a bit and also make it sit still on table. Unless you are typing on your lap, that's want I'm doing now.

I pick Macally over Apple for two reason:
- non black leather.
- did not cover front bezel with ugly frame.

Do you sync with single accounts or two accounts?
For example, my iPad is always on US iTunes account and my iPhone is on Malaysian accounts.
I have tried authorize both devices with both accounts.
My problem is that I will have "Sync Apps box uncheck"... See screenshot below.. Thus I need to re-install gain...

I only use US account. Have not encounter such issue. Have you call AppleCare?

When you want to sync iPhone w MY account, sign out and login MY account??

Some app are intended for US market only, so you won't see them on other Appstore, vice versa if local developer choose not to release the app in other country.

Happy iPadding for 2 weeks with my iPad. Glad to report that I successfully replace MacBook Pro/MacBook for on-site work. My bag is now sooooo light!

Still no sight of the Macally case yet sad.gif

I bought "Desktop" this afternoon, not bad for the price you pay, you get bundle of mini apps plus making use of the extra screen space of the iPad to do more thing at a time.

OK, here's a rundown of the app i got:
- iBooks
Should have make it a default app. Converted bunch of e-zine into it. Popular Photography, MAKE, Popular Science, National Geographic. I hope we can pinch and zoom in in the future.

- Pages USD9.99
A bit of let down, hopefully I get free update to next version. Many function still not supported. Like number listing inside table.

- Jumbo Calculator FREE
Heck, even calculator not included meh Apple??

- Marvel Comic FREE
Bought Iron Man series biggrin.gif 1.99 each

- Adobe Ideas FREE
A good free sketch pad for instant note taking & drafting.

- Desktop USD0.99
For the price you paid, you get a browser, mail composer, maps, calculator, currency converter etc... your choice to fit them on 2 panels of the screen at the same time. Hidden gem are the Statistic, which show you your iPad current Memory & Disk usage.

- Flight Control HD USD4.99
Love the iPhone version. Glad they there are new stuff making it worth playing again on iPad.

- Plants vs Zoombies HD USD9.99
Close to desktop version. Replay on iPad is fun.

- Pinball HD USD2.99
Not bad for such price.

- Other free apps:
Twitterrific
JamPad
iBanner HD (hahaha)
Alice lite
Labyrinth 2 Lite
iMahjong HD
WTD
BigBadSudoku
TapTapRadiation
WeRule HD

Apps that I'm waiting to get:
Things (really expensive compare to iPhone version)
iBank (no news yet about iPad version, but I will hold for it since I'm using the Mac version)

Is there any subscription offer yet?
Damm they should start subscription man!
Yearly or at lease quarterly.

Have to watch what app to buy lar, my iTunes credit drying up sad.gif

I still can't justifying paying another round of apps since most of them are in my iPhone. Should provide us some sort of upgrade price since we own the iPhone version sad.gif

Things for iPhone USD9.99
Things for iPad USD 19.99

I'm surprise that the back is curve like the iPad. Making the fit even better. But a bit let down as one of the edge seems like doesn't fit in all the way. But that doesn't mean the case is loose, it's not. It's firmly holding the iPad.

I have no problem "being naked" (i meant gadgets) la bro, in fact most of my stuff are. But for this case, I needed the stand function more than the protection.

Very sexy stand! Wuah... limited some more...
