Hi guys,

Just got 32gb wifi-3G iPad direct from Singapore outlet today. The battery still shows 68%, so do I need to do full charge or wait till it is down? Thanks

Thanks in advance

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?

I use Air Video. From you Ipad you can stream to watch the Video ie. the PC must be on. But there is also a video converter option. From your Ipad select the Video you want to watch. Then from the options you can choose "convert" - this will instruct your PC Air Video Server program to convert for you. While converting you can also switch off your Ipad. The movie will be converted in your PC and later you can transfer the converted mp4 file to your Ipad. The conversion is fast - for a 350MB file it took around 10-15 mins.

Hi zerko,

I have lot of movies in my external harddisk,and based on your experience using Air Video,can I assume this app will help me to sync to my Ipad?
Thanks a lot.

As mentioned by Benny888 you should download and try...

No App can "help me to sync to my Ipad?" . You still use Itunes. What Air Video does is
1 It streams Video in formats not recognised in Ipad from your PC to Ipad. This is "live conversion" both PC and Ipad must be on.
2 Another option is it can convert those Videos not recognised by Ipad in your PC. Then only you sync it to your Ipad.

Please check out the App description in Itunes.

Thanks a lot , guys

Hi guys,

Just to share my little misfortune on the 7%gst. This should be useful for those who suddenly got the last second strong urge to buy iPad in Singapore. :-)
Remember to present your flight boarding pass and show them the iPad otherwise the 5% GST will become ashes :-)


Added on September 26, 2010, 8:48 pmMy mistake was I asked my people to claim for me with my official receipt while I rushingly return via causeway to catch my flight from Johor.

Got myself a 2-1 camera connection kit from dealextreme.com for US26.80. It comes with a USB and SD card slot.

Got it after a week of order
When you first plug in, you will have a error message that device not recognized by Apple. Is OK, just use iFile and you can access all the files and transfer it to your ipad

It is more " leceh"  to do it on the ipad; launch Facebook on browser. Type in your message on " What on your mind" . Below you will see a ATTACH - select it - Photos will popup - Select UPLOAD PHOTO - select upload via email. You will be prompted to " Send my upload email to me now" . Thereafter check your mail box and proceed accordingly.

For all the hassle you need to go through , better do it through your desktop !!

I do not experience such wireless connection problems YET.  Your stated problem is ABNORMAL. If you do not face such connectivity issues using your notebook then is most probably the iPad problem. Have you upgraded your firmware to at least 3.2.1 which addresses some WiFi issues


Added on September 29, 2010, 7:20 pm
Since you can now see the movies in iTunes, you can sync it over. Go to DEVICES/iPad :  On the iPAD window in iTunes, go to Movies Tab. TICK " Sync Movies" and whatever other option you need
*
Thanks a lot..Tried few times as per your step but it still will not sync to my Ipad ( it should appear under Video ).Maybe I am missing some simple steps here..Any other method beside redo the whole conversion again?
Thanks,thanks

3G more faster than using mifi. Already test using celcom line

Based from reasonable point of view, is the mifi speed acceptable for browsing or email? I m thinking of getting one as there r 4 users in my household and we need the mobility too. Currently I m using 2 Maxis USB broadband.

i am using Aztech HW550 ( currently rm108 ) and its a N router, meaning you can surf quite far away fr the source

abt, Huawei MiFi, E5 (cost abt RM450), i am not sure as i hav not tested it yet, BUT it gives you mobility, meaning u can surf when u are in the Bus/Train on a long journey to kill your boredom rclxms.gif

Just bought Aztech HW550 at RM150.00 from my friend shop in KT. Technician still resolving connection issue :-)

Hi guys,

Finally got myself a TP-Link (brand) 3G Wireless N Router modem as wifi hotspot to cater to 2 Dell laptops,2 3GS iPhone and iPad in my household.

Tested with laptop,iPhone and iPad running simultaneously ,and noted the speed lag a bit but acceptable.
