Using finger is 101 % reliable, fast and good response. Using the pogo stylus plus 2 others i tried is frustrating, perhaps 90% max . It might be good for those who draws/sketches on pad. For normal use - nothing beats the finger
It will be good for those who need to wear gloves because of the weather

MODERATORS NOTE: DO NOT DOUBLE POST !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow ! Respect and admire your efforts just to get the iPad. I supposed you will sleep with it tonight or will it be " Sleepless in iPadcity" ?
Enjoy your new toy

I have been using my US itunes account 4 years already I'd never encountered such taxes cos I only use iTunes gift certs for purchases. I was told that if you list your address as in California, one will not be subjected to any taxes ; dunno true or not but I still use a California address . For the past 4 years I did not notice any extra charge make to all my purchases

iPad order online from spore store takes about 7 to 10 days. But delivery address must be in spore. Now control tighter , previously about 2 years ago, I can use MSIAN credit card with delivery to spore address but now must be spore credit card and delivery address must be same as credit card address

This is just normal prepaid top up. Just ask the telco shop to topup for you. It is expensive at RM8 /day - I tried it and gave up after a month. Now using Digi only RM2 per day and line is active for 90 day

YES ; a brand new ipad must be connected to computer and need iTunes to have it activated before one can use it

Why not ? There is no restriction - many members here using sets from Spore, Australia , UK and USA. Mine is Australian set - i have tested with all 3 telcos - Digi, Celcom, Hotlink Maxis

anyone can help me to cut micro-sim ?
location KL,cheras

tq in advance





You can do it yourself easily

This is my answer to several who PM me about how to cut the card : you just need a sharp scissors and a piece of paper

First get the size of the card ; put a piece of paper inside the simcard slot - slightly pressed along the edges to get a impression. Cut the paper to have the size. Put paper on top of the simcard and use a pencil to trace the size on the card. What I did I cut first the right handside close to the gold edge. Then I trim the rest - it is alright to trim off slightly the top n bottoms of the gold edges. The important area is the centre part where you see 2 lines

I have cut so far 5 cards : Digi, celcom, hotlink all works perfectly without any issues

Just use iTunes :in iTunes windows under Devices/iPad " Look at the RHS iPAD window - there are tabs for various items - Movies, audio, photos etc . Just go thro each tab study the features

At iTunes - select File/Add to Library whatever you want to transfer to iTunes for transfer to ipad

Suggest you download the FREE ipad user guide from iBooks store to understand all the basics of using the ipad

I don't think you can activate it from the ipad. Are you referring to the RM8/day - you have to activate by SMS using a phone. That's main reason why I stop using this Maxis - it is expensive and not so practical to use on the ipad unless you have a iphone4 to use with it to send the sms.
The best I find on prepaid is still Digi internet package
http://www.digi.com.my/internet/promo_limited_pre.html

Daily is only RM2 and a topup of RM10 gives you 5 days usage ( no limit ). The line is active for 90 days

I always advised students /or young execs buy ipad if you already own a notebook. Don't buy it thinking it can be your substitute notebook - you will be dissapointed. It will never substitute a notebook - you can of course purchase apps to improve its usage .
I have also quoted I have no qualms spending RM7k on a macbook air for my son but I will never buy an ipad for him. If he wants , he has to earn his money somewhere somehow to get it. The ipad I'd say more for those who has the extra money to spurge on it if he has already a good notebook.

Why don't you put up a new thread to attract iPad owners. There are definitely more than 6 in johor. I already knew a few chaps in bat pahat having the ipads even earlier than me. There are many shy lurkers in this forum. Organized a meet up with date/time/place. I can attend anytime as I am a retiree.

Rvmb movies you need purchase 3rd party app. So far most of review of such apps unfavorable main complain is laggy. It would be better to convert such movies/audios to mp4 format. Also since your movies likely big file size 700mb n above, getting these movies in rmvb format over the internet will take a long long time considering our poor broadband speeds. Best solution is to convert and transfer over using iTunes in apple format or use air video a free app
Jbreak will definately allow your iPad to have more selection in software. Infact one of the better video player is a JB version


You need to buy a camera connection kit to allow plugin USB thumb flash drive only not hard drives. And file transfer is slow more suitable for small files

I am from Batu Pahat. I am not most knowledgeable, there are several ones at this forum who are really the sifus and gurus - still learning about how to get the max $$$ out of it/ I leave to you guys to organize as my time is flexible unlike most of you who need to consider your work/study schedule/ I will come, JB only 1.5 hours away, no sweat going down

If you bought the DIGI Internet prepaid , it is auto activated. After cut your card, insert the card . It will take few seconds to detect, you will see signal bars and DIGI at top left corner. At settings/cellular data/apn settings set your apn to 3gdgnet. Read the small guide to reconfirm

Just buy reload coupon, start at rm10, IE 5 days usage. You ask the shop to topup for u or you use another DIGI line and dial from phone - read the guide is all there. Dial *123*16digit number*01 your phone no#

Omg I don't believe I need to spoon feed this as it is all in the small guide booklet

I always register Malaysia

You can do it yourself : it is very easy . And I always say, if I an old man with unsteady hands can do it, why can't others do it ? OR you pay I think RM5 at least - some PDA telco outlets will do it for you - I dunno where as I never bother to find out

OR you can ask for help from any of members here - if you are in KL . One of the member Beavis86 is an expert - i see the way he cut it , just snip here, snip there without much guide; my!! he is a real expert - I'd said he can cut it with one eye close !

The ipad will enjoy international warranty in Msia once the unit is available officially for sale . meanwhile the closest point for claims is Spore.

Genuine - you mean China lookalike copy ?? As far as I know none available in Msia yet ; plenty in HK now , only US$150

JB , install backgrounder, allow multitask. Quickoffice is good at us14.99 one of cheaper ones. Until today I still find the iPad keyboard not so user friendly and edits bit leceh. Keynote does good job reading PowerPoint slides. If you use default viewer, many PowerPoint slides I find is poorly display with funny fonts, margins displaced, a bit unsightly.

The DIGI centers will not do such service for you ; any of the telephone shop selling phone topup cards will happily do for you. If any of such shop don't , just don't patronise them
