Contemplating the STM Micro case, but if there is going to be a bulk in June for your case, then I can wait hehe

After speaking to both String and Edoras, my iPad has become more capable Thanks to String for enlightening me how to put nice cover art for TV and movies in iTunes which incidentally made me want to put more stuff on my already fully populated 16GB >.< and Edoras for bringing up Calibre and suddenly it is so much nicer to read PDFs in iBook ePub format

Was late for work this morning as I was busy converting stuff for the iPad haha

haha yeah decisions decisions, but as you said, Brisbane might not have accessories yet due to the launch date and knowing Perth I don't fancy the odds hehe so yeah maybe it is a blessing indeed that might point me towards the muzetto June cannot come soon enough for the bulk buy to start

Yeap Pandora works. You guys ought to check this out http://www.soundmancaraudio.com/ the first dude to mount an iPad into his Toyota and damn it looks good

I just changed the head of the adapter with one of my old macbook adapter heads. You can use your iPhone adapter but know that it is only 5W so it takes slightly longer to charge the iPad. That is 10W if not mistaken (*goes off to check the charger).

Got to say yes to most of your queries there

Nope was already happily ZZZzz in bed. The games they have given out so far, so so only, if they give away their bigger titles than I don't mind sacrificing sleep for it

Use it in the office, when I meet clients and also when at Starbucks/Coffeebean. Only time not using it is when the wife is around attention should be given to her hehe

In the US, there is.

Holding it and typing with one hand can be a tad tiring due to the device having a bit of heft but not a deal killer. In fact once you get used to it, you will hardly notice it. Heat? Only one time I ever felt any heat was when I was using it in the car stuck in a traffic jam and it was exposed to the sun, other than that, never felt any heat from the back of the device.

Can't compare a phone to a tablet/slate/insert any name here. If you feel that you want to have the best media consumption device at the moment, be it reading books, watching movies, surfing the web or even social media, then the iPad is your choice. As many people have pointed out, this is not going to replace your laptop but it will replace that dinky netbook. Plus ever since I got my iPad my iPhone has been relegated to a corner only brought out for the occasional music listening session Of course that might change when the 4th gen iPhone launches

This should be a given, ipad or not ipad always look out for suspicious individuals loitering nearby

Sync the file via iTunes or if in your mail app, just use the "open in" option. when using the mail app option, it auto converts and imports into Keynote. If you transfer via iTunes you have to select the import option (*icon on the top right) then select the file you wish to convert and import. Note that you can only import MS PPT but cannot export back to that format.

Saving money to buy a mi-fi prefer that option as it can be used by other devices.

Not about saving money from using it. Meant as saving money to buy the device Mi-Fi is like a mobile 3G router which you can use to connect a few devices to it and get connected to the Internet, useful if you wish to have mobile connectivity for your iPad, notebooks etc etc

I am new to Mi-Fi as well, so my explanation may not be entirely right You can check out String's picture of his mi-fi device in the first iPad thread.

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.

yup using the adapter now. But if the presentations are animation heavy or complex, the iPad does chug a bit. But that is not the norm.

Yeah I second this, awkward indeed. Believe someone posted this before, still can't swallow the concept of using any object to place underneath, means you always need to keep something nearby or with you to prop it up.

iPad beejive is out! goodbye sucky IM+ lol

I bought it because I always wanted to play Civ on my iPad but honestly it is still buggy like the iPhone version. And yes what String said is true because some assets are not reworked so sometimes it is blown up or remains the same size as the iPhone Call me a sucker but even after knowing this I still bought it

Suggestion, do not buy it until they update it. Some games never seem to get any updates at all. It is fun, but it does crash from time to time and do not think you want to spend USD 12.99, but I think USD 4.99 for Angry Birds is justifiable, very fun fun.
