Office 2 can edit MS Word.

Fun week this week. Just got my iPad 3G 64GB, keyboard dock, dock station, camera kits, apple case, microsim convertor, griffin screen protector, xgear thin shield, xgear blackout, switcheasy Nude, Martin Fields Overlay Plus Screen Protector in ONE week.

For those who import from US, my friend declared it as Toy so I kene tax from customs today. About 15% so around RM300.

nothing you can do bro,
just go there, and good luck and
be patient.

If you can convince them that is a computer in nature, that should do the trick. Better if you can get a shitty Tablet PC, borrow from someone and show them the similarities. If your customs officer is the knoledgable type, or have already dealt with iPad imports before and can see through your bluff, I guess there is no other way but to pay the duties.

wish me good luck, as there is a letter inside the box saying it is a gift hopefully can go tru it. Yeah i should be paient.

But ms office can't edit pages file unless saved in doc format. And on iPad no save as option....

hmm it seems like everyone is debating about the netbook/laptop versus ipad, and 3G-less versus 3G all over the net.

i wonder what do you use the ipad mainly for?

Hi, i've got a friend over in the states and he probably bringing in an ipad for me which is suppose to be a gift for another friend of ours.

My question is if it's possible for the ipad bought at retail apple store in USA to fully function as normal in malaysia?

And as he'll have to bring it home ith him via handcarry/put in luggage, will he get taxed by the customs during his flight back to Malaysia? or will the package be opened during custom check? (as this is suppose to be a gift, we'd like it to be sealed)
If yes, how should we go around it?

Please help us on this, and thanks in advance

Personally, I use the iPad as follows:

WORK
I have a really old, shitty laptop at work. For meetings I just bring the iPad along, type my notes into Simplenote(free) and then I can email them directly to my colleagues. For other meetings with clients since I use Dropbox a lot it's not a problem for me to show them any kind of documents I need provided I have Internet access.

With Goodreader opening the documents from Dropbox is a breeze. I'm contemplating OfficeHD or the next iteration of Documents to Go to complete my work usage for the iPad.

PERSONAL
I surf websites much faster than having to boot my net book,I can entertain my son with books from the store, and play games that work awesome. I've all but forgotten my NDS, and with Arcreader (free) I can bring my digital comics around with me.

I love my iPad but I really need a screen protector...

i'm still waiting for u to drop by...lol

cool...

i use my ipad for showing videos to my music students (some fantastic musicians playing), as well as playing mp3 for backing/play along tracks.

synced 500+ pages of jazz leadsheets into my ipad and use it as a virtual score. so convenient as you can imagine how big that book is and it's now all inside my ipad. still a little too small for classical style scores but for lead sheets the size is just nice.

going to try some of those apps you mentioned especially the Arcreader. haven't been following some of the mangas lately and going to download a bunch and put them into my ipad.

meanwhile i got a bunch of animes that i bought or downloaded waiting to be synced...

when i bought my ipad the person applied the screen protector for me. i also bought the original ipad case that i find very useful. when i take out people thought i have a mini laptop or something.

WORK

I can use either GoodReader to read the PDF files or use iAnnotate PDF to read and comment/highlight/annotate my tons of PDF files.
Use my Todo app to manage my daily Things-To-Do. If at time, I want to write my thoughts, I use the MindNode (a mind mapping app). Going to meetings without my pen and paper because now I just use my Paperdesk app.


HOME

I use Calibre to convert a number of PDF files to ePub for easy reading in iBook style.
During my spare time, I use MaxJournal to write my private Diary.
I don't have to buy an Aquarium coz the iPad have an excellent app that replace the physical aquarium.
Browsing Internet is really a breeze.... without having to boot up the computer. And reading the Net by lying down on bed...
For blogging purposes, I use BlogPress - easy to blog from everywhere.

PLAY

Great app like Iron Man 2... wow...

The bag look so nice... Count me in if doing a bulk

Thank 4 the advise.i put my macally at sale. Here the link ------->http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1424282&hl=Macally

If I purchased US iPad, is the warranty worldwide?
where can I get best price iPad?

@Xirality
Warranty based on country of purchase and not worldwide.

most of the time, iPad have no problem right? My hand a lil itchy already!

I believe the only problem that'll make you want to go back to the store is probably dead or stuck pixels...

Is this problem really common since my itouch and iphone have none of these problem.
I heard iPad have wifi problem, is it true? or get fixed already?

I wonder where did you heard that from?
