Q&A

Q: I have a maxis USB broadband, say if I have an iPad (don't own one...yet), can that USB broadband work on it?
A: You can get a mifi device like the d-link or huwei ones and use them as a wifi router with your broadband sim card. Or just get a 3G iPad if you can.

Got a question for those owner iPad especially those using mifi does it eat a lot of battery when browsing the web? Thanks

My Novatel runs up to 5 hours on battery alone. As for battery hit on the iPad it is almost negligible, 3G would drain the battery more than WiFi.

it can last a good 5 good hours on a full charge for my d-link and huawei both

You don't really have to get the Novatel. The Dlink and Huawei is a good alternative, but there are setbacks. The Dlink specs lower DL speeds, while there are reports of the Huawei sporadically losing SSID broadcast making the iPad unable to log into it. I guess the Novatel's setback is its price.

Hi,
I would like to ask some question here hope can help me,

I wonder those I Pad from USA, does the votage is different or the adaptor is different? Where i can get the local adaptor that suit my adaptor?

Regarding the bluetooth...it still can't transfer music right?

Just subscribe to national geographic magazine digital format us15 only for 12 issue. Bout rm48 malaysia. Totally worth it

I've subscribed to 12 months worth of Macworld magazine, now contemplating if I should go ahead and subscribe T3 as well. Macworld is affordable enough, but T3 goes to USD94 for 12 issues. Hmmmmm

why not when you affordable and if the content not the same than it not a waste.

@string,

i found out that with switcheasy nude on ipad it still can fit into d apple dock, but only drawback is u can't charge d iPad......

My beef here is that the paper issues are marked at 37 UK Pounds for a 12 months subscription which is around RM140, when the digital 12 copies are
crazily priced at USD94! Made me think twice.


Yup, that is correct. It stands in the dock, but to charge it you need to tilt it forward to engage the 30-pin connector in. It's getting tough to get cases that charges in a dock at the same time.

i had read the link and did not find any clue.......please do let me know which one.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1283429/+2340

but it's only discuss it a little about it. Maybe someone will answered it for you soon enough.

U sure 5hour on the huawei?
I only get like 4hours 30min+ on my huawei with celcom 3G.

Anyone here with 3G model can feedback on real life battery life? Not some
estimated lab test.

thanks

Wah version 2 already :-)

ya lor....damm fast
