i have been searching for an app that allows us to view tracked changes on the ipad. Todate, I understand all the usual doc viewing apps (Pages, Docs2Go, etc) do not support it - they just blindly accept all changes.
If anyone has had any success in being able to view tracked changes, I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

there's another browser called Grazing - http://www.grazingbrowser.com/
I have been using it for the last few days. Pretty good.

I don't think you can create folders under movies. However, what I do to create sub groups is to re-classify them as tv shows and then name similar movies/series/videos by their albums. Then it will appear as a tv show and hv separate headings classified in accordance to the album name (I'm not at my computer so I can't be as precise at the moment).

Typically from what i see, buying iTunes gift cards from eBay is more expensive they jack up the price......if via pay pal you pay original price then it's cheaper....coz at least with pay pal Msia you can link it with your msian credit card and buy it...if you plan to use the gift card to buy from iTunes USA that is...

eh - i thought you cant use the Malaysian Paypal to buy US iTunes gift cards. Or have they changed this already?

Did u try plugging into a charger or computer? Try pressing the power button and the home button simultaneously and hold for a few minutes.

Go for Best Skins Ever - similar to Zagg at half or less of the cost. Free shipping for 3 items or more (no sure if they still offer this though). Never had problems with paintwork (used on iphone/ipod)

Hi all
Have anyone here manage to subscribe successfuly to Zinio magazines from US using a Malaysian credit card? I wanted to subscribe a few of my fav magazines, but when I tried to register my MY credit card number into my account, it will not match with the "fake" US address i have inserted. If i change the address to a MY billing address, I will not be able to subscribe my fav US magazines, since it is not available in my region.
Would appreciate if someone can help me with this.
Thanks a lot

I had the same problem so I bought a gift card instead and used that to redeem into my account and purchase the magazines I wanted.

I'm considering buy a iPad for my hubby as he travels quite a lot. One of the factor holding me back is that there are no MS Office for iPad and MS has announced that there will be no plans of Office for iPad.

How is iWork and the spreadsheet app? Will it be 100% compatible with Office files like docx, xlsx, pptx? Or will formatting run by a bit due to the difference in platform?

For viewing/creating/editing of the documents, then any number of applications are available in the app store. However if you wish to review tracked changes, i dont think any app is capable of this at the moment (unless it has been updated).

So you may want to determine the requirements of usage before buying the ipad. I constantly have to remind ppl who ask me if the ipad is good that its not a notebook replacement. Its a convenient tool for a lot of things but it has some limitations. That said - I love my iPad.

Good luck with your purchase.

Well, JB is NOT illegal. And the app to use to read the files is also NOT illegal. So what's wrong?
Anyways the app is called iFile which you have to pay if you want to download it.

i agree. since its been determined that jailbreaking is legal - as long as we don't discuss illegal apps, i feel jailbreaking should be allowed.
Mods - can you confirm this once and for all instead of having people speculate unnecessarily.

ya - the memory is really low. but compared to the other browsers, safari in ipad seems to manage it better that the others. even grazing, which i find is one of the better 3rd party browsers, gives memory warnings often.

@marky try closing all open windows in safari and re-starting (or re-springing) your ipad, then try the site again (with just one window). see if that helps.

wah - heavy flash site i think. it loaded ok for me even with 30MB free but when i tried to reload, safari crashed (i had 3 other windows open though). then restarted safari and tried to re-load - this time, images doesnt load up (? mark icons all over the place) - maybe my connection is bad.

also, the site is formatted for viewing on a 14" screen or larger - so some items are over-lapping.

Even if the ipad2 is announced, it will be a while until it reaches asia (and maybe FOREVER until it's officially in our "tak BOLEH-land".
So, unless you have access to the US market you might want to consider getting the ipad now. wink.gif

iPad 2: 7-inch display
A dividing issue for many with the current iPad has been the size of the screen, and whether the 9.7-inch screen is as travel-friendly as something like the Galaxy Tab. Taiwanese component suppliers reportedly informed a Wall Street analyst that a smaller 7-inch display is earmaked for the revamped Apple tablet.

Jobs clearly has a different view on things however having told analysts at Apple’s quarterly conference call on the subject of a 7-inch iPad that, “This size isn’t sufficient to create great tablet apps, in our opinion.” Do you side with the suppliers or Jobs? we know who we would pick...

iPad 2: Front-facing camera and FaceTime
Apple has talked a lot of about FaceTime since it was unveiled at the iPhone 4 launch, and while at the time it was only available for the Apple's latest smartphone, it has since arrived for the new iPod Touch, the new MacBook Air and for desktop Macs.

So is the iPad next up for the FaceTime treatment? Well according to reports from Apple’s suppliers in Asia, the display aspects they are set to provide will be designed around a front facing camera. AppleInsider, has also had word from, 'a person with proven knowledge of Apple’s future product plans' that the camera many hoped the current iPad model would have will be added to the next model bringing FaceTime along with it.

iPad 2: Retina display and 128GB storage
The screen technology boasting 800:1 contrast ratio and 960x640p resolution, is currently housed in the smaller surroundings of the iPhone 4, but it could well find itself in the iPad in the not too distant future. The same Taiwanese component suppliers that claim a 7-inch display is one the way for the next iPad, also claims that it will be a high resolution Retina display. Storage capacity is also reported to get ramped up to 128GB while a micro mini USB port will be added on the connectivity front.

iPad 2: Connectivity
Patents are always a good indication for finding out what's on the Apple agenda and one trademark submission that emerged from the Cupertino company to the European Trademarks and Designs Registration Office points to a second 30-pin port. What does this mean for the iPad 2? Well, it could mean that you will be able to dock the tablet device in a horizontal and more traditional workstation position as opposed to the current vertical one.

iPad 2 price
There's been no talk about how much the Apple iPad 2 could cost, but judging from impressive opening sales, and the 3.27m sales Apple revealed in its quarterly results call, it's unlikely to change greatly. Cheaper tablet alternatives could be an argument for driving the price down but most of the budget iPad rivals we've seen so far struggle to match the iPad for all-round performance.

iPad 2 release date
While many suggest a Spring 2011 launch is the most likely time to see the iPad 2, the guys at 9 to 5 Mac claim to have spoken to a participant in trailers filmed for the next iPad ahead of a January 2011 launch. Could Apple buck the trend and change its usual product announcement cycle, especially with an army of tablets seemingly growing by the week? All we imagine will be revealed in the near future...
