Is the 1-year warranty begins when you activate your iPad with iTunes or based on date on proof-of-purchase ?
*
Start from date of activation. This question has been asked so many times I have lost track. You can also check your warranty expiry date here:

if you have purchased your unit with 4.2.1 , you cannot downgrade at all. You can only downgrade if it originally comes with 4.0 or 3.2.2 or lower and that is provided you have save your SHSH blobs

if my version is 4.2 does it means it is 4.2.1?
*
Check : Settings/General/About/Version - this is the actual version number , which should read 4.2.1 for firmware 4.2

If yours is 4.2 : I think it is not the official release, probably the beta developer version - anyone can verify this point ?

4.2 is just the initial official name but when it was officially release it appears as 4.2.1 in all the ipads, iphones, ipod touch

No matter what we do its still cant be use unless we activate the ipad right?? If the "plugin with iTunes program" didnt show up the ipad can be consider as used right??

If yoiu switch on and you see a USB cable on a black background asking you to connect to iTunes : It is a new unactivated set. Other than this, if you can view the homescreen means it is activated and is aused/or demo set

i checked, its 4.2 (8C134B). i bought it at the very 1st day launched in msia from Machine Sunway.

then update it to 4.2.1
Connect your ipad to computer ; open iTunes - you will be prompted to update
Backup your ipad first. TIP - remove all your big files especially video/movie files to reduce backup time. You can always add it back later. Most people report slow backup the first time - the time ranges from an hour to 4-5 hours !!! However my first backup took only about 40 minutes. The computer you used to backup and sync with your ipad will affect it. I noticed that those who report very slow backup are usually using Windows PC. I am using a iMAC.

Any one know how can i transfer PDF file to view in ipad? i got cloudreader and ibook installed, but not sure is it useful hehe

GoodReader I must say should be the first app everyone should buy as it is very versatile.

You can transfer pdf files thro iTunes. At the ipad window in iTunes , slect Apps - scroll down to File Sharing : select your app and choose the file you wish to transfer. Or you can use cloud services such as Dropbox

Buy online and you get it within 3 working days

To all the sifu,
I'm thinking to buy an Ipad for me, now can't decide to get a Ipad 32G WiFi + cheapest data plan (Maxis), or Ipad 32G 3G + cheapest Ipad plan (Maxis), wondering which one will save me more money.
Thanks!

If you want to use the 3G service to connect to the internet - it makes no difference as the data charges are the same.

Buying the 3G version gives you more flexibility as you can access internet thro both WiFi and the 3G built in function.

However the WiFi model can only access the internet through WiFi . You can pair /thether it with a 3G phone to use the phone 3G service to access but this is limited to type of phone . You can also pair it with a MIFI device. Either case you will incurr data charges which will be the same. Battery drain is very much higher on the phone and MIFI device if you connect this way

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately i didn't back up my SHSH at all....
Is there a way to restore back to 3.2.2 without JB or the SHSH Blob?

edit : The reason I would go on 3.2.2 is that my ipad used to be able to support my memory card reader, via the Ipad Camera Connection kit. This makes it easier for me, as i do not have to carry a few camera specific cables whenever i travel, and just one multi-memory card reader would be sufficient.
Looks like now I m forced to carry a few cables around, and no more thumb drive too!

There is no way you can downgrade if you did not save your blobs. Each blob is unique to each iPad. You cannot use other saved blobs from others.
