Will attempt to do it later when they can have video enabled. It looks very promising

Singapore in July and Malaysia is not in the list. So based on past records, Malaysia should be in the next quarter IE likely Sept earliest.

Wow - it is beautiful but looks bulky . Definately a good protector for your iPAD.

It is a good product in certain ways but has several limitations . I suggest you google to find out the limitations as the iPAD is NOT a substitute for even a netbook. You can overcome some of the limitations with 3rd party software or making changes on how you wish to manage your files - this is only necessary if you wish to enhance the ipad with some notebook features. I deliberated on why I should or why I should not buy at my blog :

The below link will summarize the common reasons why some people will not buy - you can check it up as a quick guide

I's say it is wise to know the limitations before buying so you dun end up disappointed. I have been using the iPad for 40 days already and I have manage to overcome most of the limitations. If you just wish the iPAD to be a substitue as a big ipod touch - it is pretty similar. I bought it just for its convenience and as a handyportable when I am out just for browsing, checking my emails and my updates on newsfeed and tweets.

So far the performance is good, my only complain on performance is the mail application is slow and takes some time 5-10 secs to load fully the emails; sometimes frustrating waiting it to load. So I jailbreak it so that I can do something else while the mails are being downloaded

Added on July 10, 2010, 6:25 pmSometimes I wonder why such a big corporate company such as Maxis do not even give proper training to their staffs. Allow me to relate my experience in a small town of mine in Batu Pahat. Last month early Jun, when I approach the counter staff about microsim - they ask me what is it ? When I explain further and that I wish to use it on my iPAD they were even more puzzle asking me how such a big gadget can use to make call ?? Basically no such microsim was available and they're not too sure. Moments later another counter staff came over and said she remember reading up in Maxis web there was such and she proceeded to check it up and brief me Maxis offer. She brief me the 3 Enhanced data packages but I did not sign up as she said I need to pay another RM30 each month as voice call as well even I will not be using the voice call feature. Unbelievable but is true - sometimes we consumers knows better than them

AGREED! There shouldn't be any charge. I have downloaded too several free apps to my iPAD

This is indeed disappointing - looks like a poor fit which is not tight

Your question has been ask so many times in this forum. Anyway the answer is NO for now.
However when the iPAD is officially launch in Malaysia - Apple authorized resellers can process your application for any warranty claims but you need to pay a service fee. Last time I paid RM60 as service fee for my iPod. They cannot process any warranty claims now as the product is yet to be register in their system and there is no info yet about the iPad. Whether you will be charge for any replacement parts if required is up to their discretion

Interesting - making phone calls from iPAD : But unlikely will hit Msia

Wow ! looks very classy and expensive. I am still using my cheapo imitation Apple casing. Then it cost me RM120 , bought it at LowYat. 2 weeks later found out can get same casing for only RM40+ !!!! Wanna cry pun tak boleh ! That time I compare it with the original casing which the Mac shop downstairs quoted me Rm220

I suppose so. In early June I asked at Maxis centre, I was told the same card which is issued for the iPAD can be use for the iPhone4. I need to pay another RM30 monthly minimum for the voice call feature on top of the data package

Different user has different needs. Example I bought the 64GB because I always sync a lot of video podcasts ; at anytime my free space only left about 20GB. You just have to examine your own needs - nobody can answer it except yourself. Of course if you can afford get the max. Get the 3G as it is good value for money - you will appreciate it when you are in an area without WiFi or you can pair it thro MiFi ( expensive solution ) or with a compatible phone

If your hands are itchy and you don't mind paying a premium, averaging rm500 extra - juz good ahead. The longer you wait the more frustrated you could become. Actually when Come to these new gadgets, I am usually one of the early bird. It is most exciting and a great learning experience when we start to learn more and explore it together with our fellow members here and in other forums. After a few months the excitement would have die and in forums like this, you will start to see many new users asking the same questions all over again. By that time this thread alone would have gone up to page 4 or 5.

Well early users do have advantage but we pay for it with a premium. Some users think we are crazy and they'd prefer to wait for official release. They not only save some money, many issues and obstacles face would have solutions ready. 3rd party developers would have introduced improved and newer alternatives apps.

Actually it is up to you alone to decide.

I bought my ipad thro one of the member here who brought back a few units from Australia. Just scout around garage sales notebook section , i believe still have few offers. You can always ask members here if you have doubts about the sellers, i m sure most of us will advise you?

My unit is jailbreak n I successfully download it and has it installed. The download over STREAMYX took 50 mins. First thing notice all my arrangement of icons displaced and all apps i put in categories displaced out on the main screen. Have to redo it. So far didn't notice any major issues

Need to JB it again as cydia gone together with all the apps I download thro cydia


In About : version reads 3.2.1 ( b7405 )

Added on July 16, 2010, 8:04 pmJuz connect to your PC , go for makan . When you are back unit would have been updated. It is all auto done, no need to watch over it

No, what I meant you can update it on a jailbreak ipad. After update, lose the jailbreak feature. Now have to wait for the Spirit guys to come out with new version, which apparently they are now working hard on it, hopefully within the next few days

You will lose all your cydia apps after update. Only jailbreak again will restore back these apps. Now just have to wait for the new spirit to be released.

Don't seem to see any obvious improvements. Supposed will improve wifi but all these while did not have any wifi problems

Please advise where you get this software. I check apps store - only for iPhone. Yours look like a full scale version on ipad

It should work , no reason why it wouldn't. Just try it, you can always ask fro a replacement - you'd have to pay for it

If you are using the default builtin Google maps - you will be charge as the map data are continously being downloaded. If you use a 3rd party application where the maps data are already in, you only pay for the initial gps lockup

The RM 100 is refundable is refundable , right ?

Added on July 21, 2010, 9:25 amDon't worry. Am sure many bros here will help out. Just ask. We learn from each other asking questions, some might sound silly , but what the heck - that's how we improve. I have been slowly compiling issues and how to overcome some of the iPad limitations in my blog. Will point out to you any solution when you need it
