That's good to hear. The iPad is portable, so having it stay home defeats all its intended purposes.

Don't have to be shy lah. I got asked many times already, and provided those querying with options. You have the opportunity to make friends this way.

You are right... I have taken it out few times in the city to malls, LY Plaza., got a lot of onlookers ... fear of being snatched was high... Hence not safe to show off unless the item gets famous and every Tom, d*** & Harry carry it in Malaysia....

Soon may see this here too...

Use it in the office, when I meet clients and also when at Starbucks/Coffeebean. Only time not using it is when the wife is around attention should be given to her hehe

I use it everywhere and anywhere I can. In meetings to do notes, check a website or just hang around by the cafe reading

I have yet to use the iPad wifi in public hotspots or in public.
The shyness is still there... probably...
Either I use most of the time at home or at the office...

But again, I don't see the need to have access to Internet every time with my iPad.... If I want to access the net, my best alternative option is still my iPhone 3GS...

Pretty understandable. But I couldn't be bothered by that and/or restrained by the fact that I'm at the mercy of what the general public thinks is suitable or allowable to be seen or done in public. Pretty sad that we're restrained by the fact that iPad in public = thievery. That almost sounds like "conform to using crappy cheap laptops like us, or risk being mugged", and conformation = communism.

LOL, I get rubberneckers as well. The thing is, the fairer sex are starting to notice as well, and somehow I get this impression/feeling that their noticability factor is under jeopardy because the guys are noticing the sexier iPads than themselves. They probably need to bump up their "noticeability factor" more....... strip naked perhaps?

That's good to hear. What do others say about you doing so in their presence?

Hi for those who bought the iPad from US, may I know whether I can claim the warranty in Malaysia when they launch the iPad in august? Thanks.

You would have to wait for official conformation by apple once their worldwide release is done. We are all waiting actually

This is from the word of the Apple Genius in the Apple Stores I've visited. Once the iPads are available worldwide, the clause "warranty available from the country of purchase" will be amended to "worldwide". We'll just have to wait to see if all of this pans out as expected.

i heard that pre order is ad got am i correct? official in malaysia is when??

For now, Malaysia doesn't entertain service requests for iPads bought overseas. If your iPad breaks down you need to pay additional moolah to exchange it for a new unit.
When iPad eventually launches officially, authorized service providers will be able to provide warranty services. (if they don't launch officially ever, then remember the iphone case, warranty by Maxis/Digi not Apple)

Not anywhere in the near future, at least not during July launch.

I was wondering if there will be apple care for the iPad? That would be great.

In the US, there is.

Lets hope we can get the international warranty in Aug.

That's why i stay away from Apple Stores. I know i couldn't resist. Maybe i'll check it out here coz 22xx sounds reasonable.
Thanks

2.2k is quiet reasonable bcos currently i still seeing people selling ipad at 2.5 for 16gb tat more is more higher then it

Question: Why "malu" use iPad in public?

Don't let other people dictate what you can and cannot do, especially for the devices you've purchased with your hard-earned money.

mallrats eying your gadget, chances of getting your valuable gadgets snatched... any answer??

I'm using it at terminal ..passenger looking pilot looking even stewardees also ask ... Abg tu ape tu bang bole tgk ?......I answer shy n politely ...bole tgk la hahhahah....standby in terminal never been better
