Does anyone know if the apple wireless keyboard can be paired with the iPad? Cause from what I read it's supposed to be a non-issue. But I went to machines earlier today and the ppl there said they tested the keyboard and found that it's not compatible with e iPad.
Need a keyboard for pages but not willing to waste rm2++ if it turns out the machines ppl are right.

QUOTE(stringfellow @ May 16 2010, 08:47 PM) I call bullshit on this. I've been using them both since I got my WiFi iPad, with zero issues. That's what I thought. Funny that they don't want to sell their product... I'll probably just get one from the apple store now.

Yeah. I've never liked the service there. It's a shame malaysia have no official apple store. Instead of resellers who know more bout pc than macs (or iPad for that matter). Ranting because I have to type on this virtual keyboard instead of a real physical one.

QUOTE(stringfellow @ May 16 2010, 10:06 PM) You may be in for a dilemma here. I have two occasions where I CAN get you the STM Micro bag while I'm in Brisbane and Perth this month, BEFORE the Muzetto stock improves. Decisions, decisions, decisions.  just trying my luck, do you think you can try to get me a marware case in aussie? This post has been edited by applecrazy: May 16 2010, 11:42 PM

QUOTE(Lord_Ashe @ May 19 2010, 09:37 AM) 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. Pm'ed you  QUOTE(Lord_Ashe @ May 19 2010, 10:10 AM) lgorious day! can't wait to get my hands on the router  I tried Keynote on a friend's iPad...looks good, but anyone actually use it for work? 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.

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.

QUOTE(stringfellow @ May 19 2010, 01:42 PM) The Eco-Vue looks milky in comparison to the Nude. The reason why the Nude ultra-clear is the most popular color compared to the rest is because you can clearly see the Apple insignia at the back of the iPad. Eco-Vue just makes it like you're looking through a dirty glass. All IMO of course. looking for a book-ish case. since it's portable, id rather not let everyone know it's an ipad from the outside. better be safe than sorry these days. besides, it looks like it can provide lots of protection in my bag what with my stray keys and coins. QUOTE(little ice @ May 19 2010, 01:48 PM) looks a bit thick, still prefer the original ipad case on my ipad...  ilounge gave it a better rating saying the material is better than apple's. besides, apple's case is sold out everywhere.

QUOTE(echothreealpha @ May 19 2010, 04:44 PM) Same here applecrazy, I still cant find a decent book-ish case yet. QUOTE(Lord_Ashe @ May 19 2010, 04:50 PM) i want a bookish case too. in my bag the coins, keys etc will make short work of the screen... found this. thought i'd share it with you guys http://www.happyowlstudio.com/the-wallet.htmlif you're not into the pockets, there's the wallet lite. material looks nice and the case offers pretty good protection. but as always, shipping is mid to late june.

QUOTE(stringfellow @ May 30 2010, 07:24 PM) Take a look at the website. The price tag is not textual, it is graphical. Now, unless some disgruntled employee/staff is playing a joke on their website or wanted to get fired, they're going through some seriously elaborate hoax just to do so. Worse come to worse, if it is mistakenly supposed to be charged as full price, the standard procedure is to email the purchaser and ask them if they want to go through with the order at that price. That'll be the time to decline the purchase. that'll be the time to sue griffin for false advertising. hehe

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. 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 Can edit and create PowerPoint too ke? Or is it only strictly word and excel?

Total sadness http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1448814GS still got hope.. No need to walk around lyp. Hehe. QUOTE(aruja_69 @ Jun 7 2010, 12:45 AM) What do u mean common prob with wifi...... It has been widely reported in numerous forums that there were some problem with ipad's wifi. The usual issue is that the signal received is, most often than not, weak. I have no issues with my wifi signal though. It's as good as my iMac and even better than my macbook's or iphone's. Just hope it stays that way (touch wood).

QUOTE(smashpOp @ Jun 7 2010, 01:35 AM) just wondering.. so lets say i get the ipad form someone selling here on lyn... then when I cod... do i get to verify if the ipad is working? like open the box turn it on.. plug it to my macbook n activate via itunes.. if ok then i pay.. or to what extend can i try the ipad before i pass the cash? whats the suual procedure for COD ipad here in lyn?> It depends on the seller I guess. When I bought mine the seller activated my iPad with his laptop since I didn't bring mine. Checked the wifi, screen for any dead pixel, played with the volume and screen lock button.. Basically I tested everything I could. Then I paid him. Maybe you should clear these issues up with the seller. Cause once the seal is broken, it'll be difficult to sell.

QUOTE(azrinarizz @ Jun 10 2010, 10:53 PM) The Dlink one can be used while charging. I just tried just now. Just bought it today. Was thinking between the huawei and dlink. In the end I went for dlink because it is cheaper and can be used when charging  Performance wise is about the same.  Where did u get the drink mifi and for how much? I figure I'm gonna need one sooner or later.
