QUOTE(mAxPC @ Apr 13 2010, 02:45 PM) Got my unit from Irwan last Saturday, he was kind enough to pass me his personal unit after the 2nd shipment got delayed. Thanks to him I have been using it since then and have encountered no weird issues with it except that it does weigh a bit if holding with one hand in portrait mode and typing with the other. Most of the costs here are usually from shipping fees, paying people to help buy for you and of course a little profit. Irwan's cost of 2400 to 2450 for the 16GB units were one of the fairest around. Now if only someone brought in the apple sleeve, need to prop this guy up when typing in landscape >.< hi there! would you mind describing your experience so far in using the ipad in terms of the surfing, the apps and especially the ebook. are you able to use it for non-apple ebooks? tx |

QUOTE(mAxPC @ Apr 15 2010, 09:16 AM) For surfing it is all right, but holding it for long periods of time can be tiring so have to usually prop it on the legs. App wise I have only purchased Pages and GoodReader for iPad. I did not purchase Numbers and keynote because they do not export to MS office format only Pages does that so far. Typing replies and stuff is best done on landscape keyboard. Only downloaded some free books. Not really into some of the selection there. But as some people mention, searching through the bookstore or the AppStore in the iPad can be a bit of a pain at times. Screen is good for reading and on the lowest screen brightness it is still readable. were you able to purchase any of the books? seamlessly? i'm interested in the ipad mostly for the ebook reader since kindle seems a bit too complicated to own and to purchase the books. plus ipad offers more than kindle;) tx |
