erm... if you are talking about big battery logo with red color, it does that when the battery is too low. Just charge it until it boot.

Hey guys, i'm sort of tempted to get the ipad. But I've read reviews saying that the Wifi signal is weak, etc etc. Any complains so far? [/quote No WiFi issues so far - tested at home and several cafe outlets in my hometown Batu Pahat, all working perfectly Added on June 4, 2010, 8:51 am[quote=euphoriaa,Jun 3 2010, 11:25 PM] hey guys, let say if i got broadband from maxis which can have 3GIG of data download every month, can i change the sim inside the modem to micro sim and use it for the ipad? [/quote] You have to cut the simcard to micro size. That is what I did with my Hotlink prepaid 3G card. I went to Maxis thinking of getting the new micro but the price is not attractive. I don't mind paying RM58 for 500MB or Rm78 for 1.5GB monthly BUT on top of that I need to pay another RM30 for voice. As I will not be using any voice calls the RM30 is wasted furthermore no phones yet support micro sim. As I rarely used 3G temporary I use my old Hotlink 3G and cut it down to size - works perfectly This post has been edited by benny888: Jun 4 2010, 08:51 AM |

The second sim cannot receive calls or sms, otherwise it is the same as main sim. You have to cut down the sim but be careful cos the sim is bigger than normal, so very tight, but can be done. Now waiting for billing to see if both sim shares my RM58 500MB data plan. It is supposed to. Will report during next billing cycle. Will monitor for 2 billing cycles before I am satisfied. |

All iPad owners, read from Apple forum there are cases where the screen is showing some uneven mark ( http://www.deedeebee.com/personal/images/ipad1.jpg )
Full details in forum ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?t...tart=0&tstart=0 ) |

QUOTE(mAxPC @ Jun 3 2010, 01:10 PM) Docs To Go is a productivity suite similar to what you get with iWorks. You can create and format MS Office 2007/XP documents, however unlike Keynote, you cannot do a slideshow on it at the moment (*unless I cannot locate the button). For me Keynote is still good but I am cursing the fact that when I import I cannot export back out to MS Office format, same goes with numbers, but Pages can. max, it means it can create excel, words, ppt?If you have used the iPhone version, it is similar with the exception of the app now taking advantage of the fullscreen. For me, being desperate means creating something in Docs To Go then hopefully no changes prior to meeting, then save and open it up in Keynote to do presentation via the VGA adapter. If got changes after presentation, have to make notes, and make the changes in Docs To Go, I know I know not exactly the best process but until Apple updates Keynotes to export back out to Office I am stuck with this lol how do you transfer it out after creating it? or is it stuck in the ipad? |

Great to hear. Mind telling me under what item you declared? Do you need to go to customs? Thanks.

Usually Fedex will take care of the custom even if sangkut. Seems like it's not being tax.
By the way, any Ipad sellers here have several extra 16gb WiFi Ipad? My friend's company is looking for a bulk purchase. |
