personally, at this moment... I think that this thing may only be good in schools and hospitals... with the correct app of course...

I may get it for my mom who runs a florist... upload all the products into it for customers to view and use iWorks to take down orders and manage accounts, etc.

hmm... its meant to close the gap, yes but why get it if one has an iPod/iPhone and a Macbook? Both those things can already do what the the iPad has to offer.. in some ways.

I'm also still waiting for a work-capable iPad (Pro)... something that can run
- Adobe Suite
- Comes with a cutting edge Apple-made Stylus for pin-point accuracy
- Wireless connectivity with External Drives
- Wireless connectivity with a Full HD LCD TV

Guess, it would more or less be a smaller iMac with a touch screen. hehe

sigh... just checked if I order and have my friend bring it back this April...
a bit pricey for me..

USD499 + 9% tax = RM1850 or so...
USD599 + 9% tax = RM2230 or so...
USD699 + 9% tax = RM2600 or so...

1. I believe its based on the same architecture of the iPhone and most cellphones and PDAs... all of them can't multitask. I also believe that once its multi-tasking capable, it's gonna be hot... too hold to hold.

and

10. The Bezel has to be that size if not you're hands and fingers gonna be pressin on the screen. If you hold a notebook, you can roughly see that you need an inch of grip space to comfortably and securely hold it.

with Jailbreak lor...

God knows why Apple didn't allow this feature to be out in the first place.

hmm.. really cannot play Music and browse at the same time? confirm?

but for some, the stylus offers precision... the iPad won't have a stylus because it's not really a 'work machine'.. its more of a lifestyle machine

actually those with Citibank Credit Cards can use Borderlinx which uses DHL to have your iPad shipped over from the US

ops.. here's the link

the only thing that concerns me is...

what does the iPad come with?
Do I have to buy the dock and charger and stuff?

Here's how much it would cost to ship an iPad via Borderlinx to Malaysia...

Attached thumbnail(s)

charger meaning 1 USB to charge and sync, right?

hey Jey.. go check warranty..

well, some folks are early adopters ma... so they really don't mind paying for it... getting it earlier by a few months so they can lay their palms on it...

RM2345 was based on the USD599 model

oh? confirmed coming to M'sia in April ka?

Actually with most of Apple products made in this region, it make sense to have a worldwide launch and release of their products but I guess the factories can't cope to produce that many units... Those days, some Apple products are assembled in Singapore, right? How about these days... still the same?

no China-made iPiak yet eh?

Hmm... What App does Apple have for the Mac as well as the iPod/iPhone to enable us to read Comics (like PC's cbr - Comic Book Reader, etc) ?

ahhh... pay for this app? aisay...

Please bring back EV Nova.. for the iPad!!!!

why can't it open PDF?
The iPod Touch and iPhone can both access PDF files right?

eh.. the iBook can't open PDF?
You can even open PDF files with Apple's built-in Preview app...

as for outdoor reading... even my Sony Ericsson phone can't be viewed outdoors... hehe

dude... Flash and Justice League belongs to the DC Universe, not Marvel.

besides, Flash is a wuss...
