My 5 sen advise from an old man :

If money is no issue, buy iPAD a expensive substandard tablet ; is a inbetween a netbook and a desktop with several limitations. Enjoy spending money with it while at same time enjoy all the frustrations and possibly spending more money ( buying apps ) to make it more enjoyable. As I am using the iPAD for the last 2 months, I can confidently tell you is an expensive TOY. Many might not agreed with me but that's how I see it. Buy it only if you have spare cash. The money would be better spend on buying or upgrading a notebook. Frankly I am shock that so many students are buying - their fathers must be generous and  quite well off to allow such spending by their children. I will never spend such money. I don't mind buying a MacBook Air costing RM7k for my son but NEVER this. I told my children if they ever want this, go and earn the money to buy it.

If money is limited, I'd think you'll get more satisfaction buying a iPhone as it performs as aphone and its PDA features is acceptable as is meant to be designed as such

No one can tell you which one is better for you. It all depends on ur need. like me already hv Omnia2 handset, which i can easily browsing but in small form factor and a bit slow for my opinion, i also got high-end asus laptop G51JX ordered directly from US and cost me more than rm 5k, but this laptop actually desktop replacement mean it not so portable and it used for my heavy job such doing some simulations. so now what i need is in the middle of this two, i need a good surfing device, means ultra portable and also faster web surfing. other apps such music, video, word processing etc. is bonus for me and it not in my 1st priority. so to compliment this two device i need an Ipad, Wifi version is enough for me since i can use my phone as wifi router via my 3g unlimited plan. so now if i go anywhere phone always with me and i can surfing with it, and also if i bring Ipad i also can use it for surfing. Iphone 4 also interesting for me but it is not in my first priority, why i need to buy another handset while i already got one. That all my opinions only, different person different perspective....

there are a lot of new reports indicating that the death grip only occurs in the US due to AT&T poor network. those is other countries doesnt experience this issue. and those already using iphone 4 locally say no problem

i agree with mjoe. ipad seems like something to buy only if you are satisfied with ur phone and laptop. if u need a better phone or laptop, get one 1st. if no, then an ipad is a good choice to fill in the gap

I think most people especially techies are rather harsh on the iPad as they have locked in a certain high expectation for the device. Apple has never promised an alternative for a laptop nor a computer, but it has always maintained that the iPad is one of the best ways to experience the internet, photos and videos. Having used the computer for many months in my life, i have used it for gaming, designing, internet browsing , word processing and many more tasks. BUt nowadays, i come back home from work and turn on my laptop to surf.

A computer is a computer while an ipad is an ipad.

I bought it for my wife and she has been of her laptop ever since. This is because i know that her main objective of using the laptop was for Internet browsing. The very fact that she does not do programming, use design softwares or decode videos gave me no headache when weighing whether to buy her an ipad.

I still use my computer, but when i'm in bed at night i would usually borrow her iPad and browse the internet with ease. It is i must say a breeze and a pleasure to use and to me worth every cent.

Is it a toy?

It is not an toy,expensive yes, but it is just another platform for internet users, especially simple internet users. Yes you can buy a cheaper netbook, but i must say that Ipad is different. Just make sure you make an informed decision before you purchase it. Buy things that you will actually use, not just because its cool.

@agito666 .. google  ardrone

currency depends where you buy from .
the norm is USD , iTune cards or  paypal etc = )

Yes, but you dont have gps, you must take care two item, more slow connection,

its about 5GB had been utilized. Imagine the 16GB is only left roughly 10GB for my own data.

Thanx. so i know which model should be consider.

Quick guide by me :  here and here

just bought ipad .... how to transfer photo to ipad ?? thx for reply ....

Only Maxis has multi sim cards facilities. Costs - just enquire at your nearest Maxis center

Those who own a android phones ( OS ver 2.2) - you can setup your phone as a hotspot. My Nexus is on Celcom postpaid unlimited. On my Nexus, I set it as a Portable WiFi hotspot. On the ipad I turn on wireless and the iPad will detect my Nexus as a hotspot. So just using one simcard on my Nexus phone, I can also simultaneously used it as a portable wifi for my iPAD.

At the same time, I have a Celcom 3G prepaid card inside my iPAD ; rarely use it now

Long time lost touch with Symbian - no idea .
Why don't you try and let us know whether possible.
iPhones definitely cannot tether with iPAD ( purposely not allowed to as it would affect 3G ipad sales) - there could be a possible solution as some developers working on it now

Joikuspot is supposed to do it on symbian s60

product info here  http://www.joikushop.com/index.php?action=...&type=free_text

Heard tethering really sucks your phone battery dry.

Let us know if you do try.

i using free mywi... just need jb n add source...
