What is the cheapest internet package for Ipad usage fr our local telco (besides free wifi at cafe)n tq

Hey guys just got my iPad wifi+3G 16GB in hong kong!!I am wondering can use a prepaid sim card for the 3G service ??

@bryancsk,
Yes of course U may but make sure you've bought data access

Are using a prepaid card ?

i m using digi prepaid limited edition 3g data only package.

may i know is the ipad can be set from mandarin to english? as i saw all the computers in apple china is in mandarin.

Hi all, just wondering, after a few days/ months of having your iPads, how much space had you used?

Trying to decide over which size should i get. The bigger the better or too much is a waste.

Thanks in advance

I have problems with Air Video. Sometimes it lags when streaming and sometimes the video just doesn't play. Anybody else with problems with Air Video? Also, the frame rate on OPlayer HD is really poor. My videos always stutter.

You'll be able to know by looking at this thread.

How about trying out zumo cast?

After around 5-6 months im just realised my 16GB is not enuf for me...for me ip4 n ipad are perfect companion...Ip4 serve me HD pics n video (big size files) n then i will transfer all those hd files to my ipad as screening purpose...its great
Better go 32 or 64 size for now or u'll regret later...

Im quite satisfied with Digi (RM10 for 5days) coz even when on EDGE and at the remote areas place such Banting n Sepang, the speed is quite stable n good..

@nickygin: It's best to get the biggest capacity available (if you can afford it). Better to have the space available than be forced to change your iPad because there's a lack of space. I'd definitely recommend the 64GB!

@doctorpopcorn: I experienced this when my router was 802.11g. I changed my router to 802.11n (300Mbps) and now I'm able to stream videos from my MacBook to my iPad through the N-Router without lag.

My Flipboard also issues with YouTube.

Anyone here got lubang to purchase legal ebooks from the book store using malausian credit card? Kindle amazon also cannot buy leh. Crap. Crap. Crap. Stupid man.

i am using celcom blackberry unlimted data at RM148 per month...with phone calls...the bill come up to RM2xx per month..

thinking of getting an IPAD for ocassional web surfing at places without wifi services.... which local telco
plan u think is suitable ?? we can't plug the broadbad USB modem to iPad right ??

@HW-Racer: Nope, we can't plug the broadband USB modem to the iPad because it doesn't have a USB port.

tq...then how do u connect to the internet ?? can insert sim card to ipad just like phone ?? if yes...meaning we
can use ipad to make phone calls ?? and need to get separate sim card than the one we use in the phone... ??

hmm i dont know about your usage oh...because mine package is for light surfing only...3GB monthly quota, RM2/day but actually when you reload you need reload at least RM10...well better than Maxis RM8 1 day only...
and connection seems not bad for me...hehe i m first time 3g user...that package is good for people like me when go back hometown then no internet to use then can activate the 3G to surf net...

Added on September 15, 2010, 12:18 amconnect internet through Wifi, or if you get 3G model then can insert micro-sim to use 3G to surf.
about the phone call i m not sure for that....
if not mistaken there is someone mentioned using bluetooth headset and skype to talk?
i think so... so far i think maxis only support multisim, digi now don't have.
about microsim, maxis and digi have already... but you also can take the sim card to cut it down manually. but make sure the sim card later wont use on phone anymore or else you need sim card adapter to revert back
