Downloaded a few apps, Sketchbook has been VERY awesome, will download iwork next after gaji masuk smile.gif

Any free apps worth downloading? I already have bloomberg, bbc, new york times.

I believe in the previous page most of the good popular free apps have been detailed.

You can also use AppMiner (iPhone app) to dig thru free apps you can use.

YAY! my friend brought in my Huawei mifi unit!

He has 2 extra units, so if anyone wants in, lemme know. I know for sure he's not looking for profit, just wants to let it go.

use it for presentation on a day to day basis but cannot export to ppt yet so I try not to make changes to the slides. Only notations.

hmm thanks. I was worried about that. Still waiting for Documents 2 Go. My friend tells me Office2HD doesn't really play nice with Excel

Using it to make presentations currently because of the mobility it offers (can basically do it anywhere). Sucky thing is i've to transfer it to my Mac in order to export it into ppt to share with my friends. A little extra work for the fun iPad offers. tongue.gif

Hmm, if we get the VGA adapter basically keynote can replace ppt for simple presentations right? I'm intrigued by that...

Exactly. And it's always nice not having to lug around a big laptop/netbook. Currently trying to secure a vga adapter frm a forumer. Wish me luck.

Cool! let me know how that goes smile.gif

Any of you guys having problem charging the iPad using laptop?

I have a Dell laptop and I can't charge my iPad on it.

On my bro's MacBook pro I can charge it when it's booted on Mac OS but when load it on windows it can't charge as well.

So the problem is with my OS?

Using windows 7 here.

P/s : Dell service guy came today and even changed the motherboard after I complain to them that I can't charge my iPad, but still can't charge

I think this was answered in V1 of this thread - the iPad will ONLY charge when it's on sleep mode via a USB connection to your PC due to its power requirements. For best results, use the attached charger or your iPhone charger.

Hmm I'm still torn between upgrading to ipad 3g or buy a mifi...

Cause every time need to switch on the darn phone a little troublesome. Also during teaching just now I just happened to need to show him some video so I need to switch on my phone, and afraid if the 3gb limit will run out and maxis will charge me a bomb...

Need to survey the garage sales section again or pre order... sad.gif

Well if you want the mifi I still have it smile.gif

Just want to put in my .02 regarding the myfi vs iPad 3G debate.

I went the myfi route and bought one of those huawei modems. My feeling is when I'm overseas, I and my family can all access the Internet by getting a PAYG sim card to use in the huawei. With the iPad, we would all have to take turns on it ( assuming we can find a PAYG micro-sim). Just something to consider if you expect to travel out of the country.

Exactly my POV which is why I bought one. At least when I'm in Europe my colleagues and I can share the bandwidth.

Hello.
Good to see there's already a lot of iPad users here. I'm considering to get one and I intend to use it for note taking (mostly). I'm thinking of getting the pogo sketch and a good note taking app, probably CourseNotes.

If any of you have actually used the iPad in such a way, kindly post your feedback. If it has already been discussed, kindly point me to the right post or thread. I intend to lose all the papers I usually take with me to the countless meetings I have to attend and of course, take notes with style! wink.gif

Your help would be much appreciated.

p/s: would it be okay to discuss iPad jailbreaking here?
*
I dunno but FYI I jail broke mine just to change themes and use sbsettings...

Can you access itunes music store using my itunes account.

I can, but my friend cant. Why?

Perhaps more info would be useful. On the ipad you need to have a US iTunes account as well maybe? That's how I get on the store on my ipad.

Hey guyz biggrin.gif

I juz bought a iPad case that comes with a magnetic strap for better closure... Will the little magnet do damage to the  Ipad??

The wifi iPad shouldn't be affected as it doesn't have a compass but I read somewhere the 3G model may have issues with using the compass unless you take it out of the case.
