Got a question for those owner iPad especially those using mifi does it eat a lot of battery when browsing the web? Thanks

Until there is an app that requires pin-point accuracy on GPS while using your iPad, there is no need for the 3G. Unless you're planning to use this as a GPS solution, and so far, the only HD version of a GPS app is CoPilot Live HD, with maps for North America only.

Added on May 18, 2010, 5:23 pmA simple question to those with iPads: Do you guys bring out your iPad when you're out and about, and how much more inclined are you to use them in public?

I notice that , even when mI'm out meeting the guys for the Tumpang item distribution, they're not inclined to use them or be seen using them. May I ask why? I'm suspecting fear of being robbed, but I'd rather not speculate and get the real answer.

Hi for those who bought the iPad from US, may I know whether I can claim the warranty in Malaysia when they launch the iPad in august? Thanks.

If that is your answer, then you shouldn't be owning an iPad, or any highly-perceived/ high end stuff in the first place. Everybody then just buy brand X from Walmart or Tesco.

Changing public perception doesn't happen in a blink of an eye. But you can help towards that goal by making it seems normal or commonplace so that it'll be perceived as commonplace item, this devaluing its desirability, and reducing the possibility of theft. The more rare the item is, the more it is perceived as valuable thus more desirable to rob. Just look at the iPhone. At one time, very few are using it and thus often being perceived as "ripe" for the picking of thieves. Fast forward to today. It's commonplace appearance because everyone kept using it in public makes it no longer a theft-focused item like it used to be.

In any case, I don't really care what others perceive me or the things I do in public. Conformity only reduces one's ability to be creative and free. Following what others do just to escape being singled out is what I'd call liberating.

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.

even so, LYN iPad seller have an army of ppl in states that can get them 20units in one shot

Do not like the IM+ interface, clunky for me. But big factor is that it is free for me as it is universal. The iPhone version isn't that bad, maybe just need to revamp the interface.

If asked, I would suggest to go for 3G iPad. No need to bring so many devices out and you can access the Internet anytime anywhere without turning your mifi or iPhone. Now I have 3 sims, one for iPhone, one for MacBook and one for iPad. Great portability.
