Once I have put the micro-sim card to the iPad, do I need to set a certain setting in order to start my 3G wireless access??

YES. You need key in APN settings : Settings/cellular data/apn settings

That is not entirely true and that is what caused me to lose r,4 or 2 days of access on ky digi package. I gist cut, put in, see the digi bar and then thought. My 3G is working and did not try to enter the pan till later (3days later). I just open up safari and then Internet is automatic. Do not even need to key in anything.

@wyyam: "Mi-Fi" is a Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot. It's a mini wireless router that is powered by batteries. You just need to enter your SIM card into the "Mi-Fi", setup the "APN" (provided by your telco provider) and start sharing your wireless broadband connection. The downside to it is that it only lasts a few hours but you can share your wireless broadband connection to a few users instead of plugging the Micro-SIM into your iPad and only you can enjoy your wireless broadband connection. You can also setup WEP on your Mi-Fi.

@arthurlwf: Yes, you need to setup your "APN". It's provided by your telco provider.

@S2000-: There is no iPad in Malaysia officially. It's only available through 3rd-party sellers like users selling in the "Garage Sales"-section.

If you buy it (iPad 3G + Wi-Fi) from Singapore or USA, you can use your Micro-SIM in your iPad. You just needa' setup the "APN"-information. The "APN"-information is provided by your telco provider (Maxis/Digi/Celcom).
The expected price through 3rd-party sellers is about RM2650 - RM3000. You pay a premium because they bring it in specially from SG or other countries which have the iPad (officially).

Thanks for sharing , guys.
Guess I m back to square one on the streaming
Video to my iPad. Is there any simpler ways for us
newbies?


Added on September 24, 2010, 11:21 amBy the way, the mifi price in here are almost on par with Digi & Maxis. If there is no major differences,then would you guys agree I should
get it outright from those telcos, in view of
convenient in service or warranty claim?

If you wish to view videos in Apple's supported format : AIR VIDEO is simple and most important is fast - a 1.5 hour movie takes about 20-25 minutes compared to using example Handbrake to convert ( an hour plus ).

If you dont want to use this and willing to view it in its default formats eg avi, mov, mkv etc then use Cinexplayer ( free ) or VLC ( free ) but you still need to transfer the video files over thro iTunes which is pretty fast

Hi Benny888,
Just to check. I thought for VLC it is just a remote control to control the VLC Player on your PC i.e. you can't view the movie on the Ipad but it controls the VLC player on your PC.
Maybe I downloaded the wrong VLC app rclxub.gif

I tested the VLC player.. It need time to improve everything.. Too many issues... Hopefully the next updates would fixes all major issues.

Even Avi format it can crash the apps... I don't know what can i do with VLC player at the moment. Give myself a rest from that .

Will check out Zumocast...Hooray for RMVB..!

I was wondering how come Msia do not have IPad (Officially by Msia MAC Store)?

Appreciate your reply. Guess I need to get one from Spore then. Jus checked online MAC SPore selling at SGD1228 for IPAD 64G WIFI+3G. Lets say after conversion (* 2.4) is ard RM2947.20. Possible to get cheper than this at LYN Garage Sale section and it comes with locked or unlocked version?

Thanks.

downloading movie from ur pc is very time consuming, and the worst thing is the download wont run when we are streaming movies from our pc or we close the app. sad.gif

dont bet on it, i dont think resellers would be willing to sell it cheaper than the singapore price or else they are not making profit. or maybe u can see if someone is selling a preowned unit?

however based on the current conversion, if you can manage to get hold of one unit in usa or hk, the price shud be cheaper than singapore unit.
