I think my 16gb is not suitable for me anymore...lookin for 64gb soon, 3G version not on my priority after read some reviews on battery issue....

I had already fully utilized my 16GB, but not planning to upgrade to a higher capacity, just have to be prudent in what I store on the device

Good to know, mate! Do you think I'd be able to use it for 3 hours before the power hits 20% (from full charge, of course) ? Got my MyWi, now waiting for my iPad to arrive.

Disregard those animosities, guys. It's wise to ask questions about your potential purchases, it shows you're more concerned on how it fits your usage pattern and routine.

I'd be glad to answer any questions, but only if I have any experience in using them. I don't have MyWi so I can't say much about it.

Added on May 25, 2010, 5:15 pmI am using such a combination now. Whilst it provides an alternative to mifi for me temporarily, it does suck up my 3GS battery very fast which isn't an issue at times since I can charge the phone via my car charger. I know it saved me a few times when I needed to log onto Werule

LOL, it was my sweaty palm. The PowerSupport resisted the sweat smears and the stain evaporates off the surface.

I was using the Capdase before I applied the PowerSupport, but Capdase comes in many version. If you're picking the CApdase, pick the Imag version, not the Aris. The old Aris version is not fingerprint resistant, it is only antiglare IIANM. The new Imag version is both anti fingerprint and antiglare. Unfortunately, the Aris version is the one carried by the local Machines, the Imag version, you'll have to get it somewhere else. PM me if you're interested on the Imag version, I don't want this thread turning into product placements. PowerSupport is still tops, IMO.

I would like to ask, what is the best brand for screen protectors. Any specific brand or just the ones from garage sale will do Mind giving recommendations Just hit me with a PM What kind of screen protectors do you guys use? Antiglare? Privacy?
I just want a normal screen protector to prevent my iPAD screen from being scratched maybe less finger prints as well.

Read the post from String above your post...

From the current observation alone, the iPAd WiFi + MiFi is king, compared to the standalone 3G.

Pros and Cons of the two different version, all IMO of course:-

iPad WiFi + MiFi

+ Battery saver! You have steady power drain because of steady connection between your iPad and the MiFi. Power depletion is much steadier, which gives that peace of mind that you won't run out of power in your daily commute/routine.
+ Depending on the specs of your MiFi, you can now get reasonably accurate position compared to WiFi only position triangulation. This opens up the possibility of using the Wifi-only iPad to navigation.
+ Since the MiFi is with you all the time now, for road warriors using other devices that can tap onto WiFi connection, this provides another option to go online.
+ Aesthethically more pleasing than the 3G, with a clean aluminum back, compared to the black-strip on the 3G model
+ You can reuse your current SIM card on the MiFi without the need to mutilate it further to fit into the 3G SIM tray. The annoyance of having to swap between your phone and the MiFi may be a deterrent to some to do this often. Also, you avoid needing to subscribe to another data package to be use solely for the MiFi.
- Apps that require GPS positioning, will not be able to take advantage of the WiFi model. This is for future-proofing purposes, for example an app that requires pinpoint accuracy to work, such as location-aware apps, etc.
- You're carrying two devices instead of all-in-one.
- Once your MiFi battery power depletes, you're stuck with searching for WiFi hotspots for your connection. Most MiFi solutions last 5 hours *advertised*, and unless you want to bring its charger (add another device), you're stuck without a connection until it is recharged, or you're in another hotspot.

iPad 3G

+ All-in-one! The constraints of moving around with finite amount of space that can be brought with you in this case is a huge plus. Travelling light with the iPad is the whole idea here.
+ Built-in, GPS component with A-GPS. This gives pinpoint accurate positioning if you're concerned with apps that uses navigational properties.
+ Future-proofing, to a certain extent. Granted, there may be future updates to the iPad, but with every feature sets on the device, all available apps, present or future will be able to take advantage of the device fully. May be obsoleted by future add ons to the iPads like cameras, etc.
- Battery hog! Moving around with the device alone has shown that power draw is significantly larger because of the need to remain connected, the device will compensate by increasing power consumption to catch the 3G signal in low-strength coverage areas.
- Aesthetically less pleasing in looks because of the black strip
- Unless you're subscribing to service operators with support for microSIMs, mutilation to fit into the 3G iPad is necessary. May entice users to subscribe to a secondary data-package only service, which adds to the already burgeoning cost.

Bear in mind, these are my pros and cons, these points may or may not be important to you, depending on how and where you use your iPad. Feel free to add your own take on this.

The best combo I'd see would be the 3G iPad + MiFi, for that maximum connectivity + battery conservation purposes. You can turn off the 3G wireless connection while using MiFi, and once MiFi battery depletes, you can either already be at a hotspot, or use the onboard 3G connectivity.

awesome! thanks for sharing!

yup, how bout different from cost between WiFi+MiFi and the 3G?

Good point, but I don't list that down since some combinations would be almost the same as buying the 3G model. It depends on which MiFi models you are interested in.

Whoops. I must have missed the screen protectors part. Thanks for sharing wyefueng. Nicely done
I guess the price is around there for 3G and wifi+mifi. Just which one you prefer having

This makes it clear for me, iPad WiFi + Mi-Fi I hardly go online actually, only to check on my crops in WeRule hehe most of the time I am reading PDF or comics on the iPad. Very useful observations indeed, will help answer many similar and of course upcoming questions in regards to Wi-Fi or 3G model.

Thanks keyven!
I don't think this gonna be my choice...

Yup, definitely makes you think twice doesn't it?

Just out of curiosity, when are you closing your Waterfield bulk order? I'm thinking very hard if I need to get myself the Keyboard Short Sleeve or not. The shipping charges may not be worthwhile to get one.

How about ipad wifi+mifi vs ipad wifi+iphone mywi.?

Im using ipad wifi + iphone mywi. The speed is faster when pairing with ipad compare surfing with iphone itself.
