I wish to correct part of your statement. You cannot compare Dell streak with iPad. The Dell streak is a 5inch android smartphone not a full fledge tablet. Because of it's size it is more convenient to use it to simulate a mini-tablet.It was never meant to compete with the ipad.

And the Dell streak is great android phone. I know cos I have both iPad and the Dell streak.

The initial review of Dell streak were all based on ver 1.6 and now with froyo , frankly I would say it performs great. I am so comfortable with it that nowadays I use it more often outside than the iPad. One thing the Dell streak beats the iPad flat is it's browser. The iPad safari n even atomic browser is hopeless and slow. Editing on the iPad is terrible. If you want something really portable and pocketablen the Dell streak is great. I like to use it to browse and email the Dell streak is great. The mail function in the Dell is great, better even with k9 mail a free app installed. iPad mail is really mediocre loading mails is fast but retrieve full content is horribly unbelievably slow.

http://www.hypershop.com/HyperDrive-iPad-H...Drive-s/183.htm

But is expensive, cheapest 120GB cost US$299, a 500GB US$ 499

Main advantage I see this external hard drive need not use any external power to charge it

I dont want to argue with u. Diff people diff need..correct? but to certain people to say that dell streak is a ipad killer just is incorrect... Regarding browser, i still comfortable with 10' rather small scree

I am asking here, since I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Are iPads considered personal computers? And if so, are they eligible for the income tax relief (max of RM3000 that wan)

Sorry, dunno if I should move this thread to a finance and income tax thread discussion instead....

should be as its not use to make normal calls not the skype ones. unless of course the officer in charge of your account mistake it for a real apple then you cannot make claim

I am just saying you cannot compare Dell streak which is a smartphone and is not a tablet like ipad. Those who say dell streak a ipad killer I really don't know how they associate a 5 inch versus a 9.7 inch. It is a unfair comparison, for academic purpose maybe definitely not on a product type level.

I never compare but many people compare with ipad...why? becoz, ipad already set a standard... now people talking about playbook vs ipad.... how could they do that? one years old ipad vs not release yet playbook

I think its wrong to compare the DELL and iPad as well.. its like comparing a car to a motorcycle and saying that the car is a motorcycle killer (pun not intended)

Just read that maxis is offering iPad data plan in coming months. "Apple iPad owners listen up – Maxis today has announced that they are going to come with dedicated data plans specially for iPad users very soon. Unfortunately, there are no other specific details included with the announcement except that the plans are meant for iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G and they will be rolled out in the "coming months".

With this announcement, we couldn’t help to feel a little bit suspicious. Are you thinking what we are thinking? Exciting times ahead, maybe? We certainly hope so!"

I know it's kinda off topic but games love big screen right? Hope can create a poison. Hehehe EVIL

Guys, I m having difficulties opening up PDF in my iPad.
I use safari to go to gmail, when click at the pdf attachments, it looks like it's trying to open, but then it bombs up n go back to the iPad main screen.

Appreciate help.

Maxis announced this cause YES 4G was launched today @ Lot10, juz imagine, fastest internet (7MBps ~12MBps) @ rm67.50 for 3GB.........Maxis current 3GB @ rm68.00 if i am not mistaken ( sometimes surfing is slow like hell)

I hope their data plan is not their current data variant given a new name. That sucks.

Can I hope for a prepaid data plan? Dont't think so...

I got mine from HK... what exp are you seeking about?

Is the processor fast enough and does it get hot from prolonged use? How long between battery charges? Thinking of adding one to my collection of gadgets.

wanna ask what is the market price for ipad 16gb with wifi .

I got mine there. If you are planning to get it there make sure you check the pricing, the 1st shop I went wanted to charge me a lot more just because "it is not available anywhere" BUT when I went to a authorized retailer, i got it for the official price that's stated on Apple Store. Service was good. Hope this helps to answer your question

why not, go and buy the new hotlink prepaid broadband plan tat "run" on "hot ticket" for topup

not many dealers selling this actually, ask around, they dun use normal topup card/coupons, it utilise "hot ticket for internet" based on quota like 500MB or 1GB

Any chance u know how much is the top up for quota base?
