I still cant figure out a way to get an IPAD after failing to grab one during my trip to singapore last week Just when only Malaysia will launch

Don't take the risk of getting some generated illegal ACPP code, your warranty might be revoked anytime if Apple find out, i suggest you buy the box one, preferably sealed and brand new, better be safe than sorry bro ! I got myself Macbook Pro, iphone 3gs, iphone 4 and going to get another one for my ipad soon, for the money you are paying, it's worth every single penny you spent on ACPP

Finally, got my iPad from Singapore! Thiis MSG is type from it.

Anyway, who has tried numbers? Need to use spreadsheet. Thanks

I am gonna use it in UK.. So should be OK right?

Need someone else to verify this...

Cause I rmb iPhone is not international

I'm using DiGi 3G unlimited on my iPhone. So far coverage within big town still ok, I think at BP, I could get edge only.

newbie here... can someone actually tell me if ipad is good for business use? like doing presentation...... and any designing software can be install into it? feels good if can do that than carrying big heavy backpack..

It's just some folks have different comfort zones when it comes to what they define as a "norm" in their daily routines. I suggest those who thinks the iPad as a toy to reacquaint with power users and what they do with their iPads. I have DJs, doctors, pilots, lecturers, teachers and professionals using it more than just mere "playing games, surfing the web, email and chatting on MSN".

I don't agree, it can be used for presentation with Keynote, plug to projector with VGA connector. Word processor can use Pages. If you don't like touch screen keyboard can pair with Bluetooth keyboard. How is the iPad a toy?

Like I said, comfort zones. You are accustomed to things you're doing and routines association with their respective devices. As for how many, those I've listed represent how many. Diverse too. The company I'm working is looking into the possibility of using the iPad as the electronic flight bag and content delivery system for our operation. Also for customer interface unit, as well as the staff's allocation for flight operation purposes. I've had tons of requests to get folks their VGA kit, and guess what they're using it for? Presentation on the iWorks suite. Others use VPN and VNC service to access files remotely from where they are to assist them in their work while they're away from head office. Doctors using iPads for remote display. DJs using the Korg Electribe for music mixing. Their sales numbers are not indicative of "casual usage", especially when it comes to professional-level apps like Foreflight for pilots, iWorks, the Anatomy app, LogMein Ignition or the Korg Electribe, because these apps are not priced casually, they are priced targeted at working professionals.

Just because you treat it as a toy, doesn't mean that you represent the total demographics. The iPad is flexible enough to function based on what the end user wants it to be. Just like how some folks buy their iPhones to "just make phone calls , text messages, and occasional Sudoku games", others actually use their iPhones towards more serious productive ways.

So please, before you conveniently label this as a "toy", try broadening your horizon and meet more folks and ask them what their iPad usage are like. Just a friendly advice.

Added on August 16, 2010, 9:38 pmThe only weak part I see on the iPad is content creation. As a content delivery or consuming device, it's processing power , size advantage and screen estate is godsend.

now it seems like my iPad wifi feels like a bigger iPod touch. opting to change it to a 3g one. anyone thinks this will make a major difference in my usage of the iPad? now im kinda losing interest in the iPad.

i guess they probably are planning 4G for iPad 2...

mifi + iPad is wonderful,...only shortfall is the mifi device shamefully consumes lots of battery power...

E585 of course is better than E5830, since it's an improved version of E583, but for the price wise, i don't see its price justify

Wonders why they don't produce 4G yet since 3Gs already out on the Iphone

It's not a 'home' router  since I can use it anywhere with my Maxis mobile USB. It's the Aztech 553M, which is fairly small and turns my 3G into a wifi hotspot, which is what a 'mifi 3G travel router' does. 

Upside: cheaper than the e585, ( bought it for RM140), easy set-up, does almost everything a mifi unit would
Downside: requires a separate power source, substantial speed decrease when sharing more than 3 devices

New iPad user here Just got my 64GB Wi-Fi iPad from Singapore on the 20th August Am loving it so far (It's the only Apple product so far I'm crazy about and like), I get to read and surf when I'm away from my laptop, and it's more portable than a laptop and more functional than my phone for taking notes when I go to Uni

I use my phone as a Wi-Fi tether when I'm on the go and need internet, since I have a data plan on my phone.

Now I have a Windows (Laptop), an Android (Phone), and an Apple (iPad) XD

Hey Guys,

Any1 knows how to activate Maxis Hotlink 3G daily pass on the iPad? Went into the sim application under setting and select the wap portal, however came to an error msg.

any1 can help?

Thanks.
