BTW – Rumors indicate new iPad out first quarter 2011 – with new Cortex A9 processor with 512MB of RAM, etc. The Cortex A8 was used in the iPhone 3GS (comparison)

Seems to me a lot user who owns iPad found that iPhone 4 is almost a replacement for it already.

iPad apps are too little to be found now

I've had mine since day one from Australia and haven't looked back. Still getting a lot of use from my iPad. It's fit into my routine nicely and sits on the desk like it's always been there. Kinda wondered how we got on without these tablet devices before. smile.gif

I use Handbrake to convert files from any source to ipad compatible.. then works fine in standard ipad player.
Can also try ipad presets here but these do result in very large files (~1.5GB).

Not sure if it converts mkv though - havent tried yet. But seems to do most I've asked of it.

Edit: a quick check on the site says it does do mkv
*
I use airvideo to convert the files or just watch it by streaming...

My GPS location is very accurate as well since mine is Wifi version. Based on http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ seems like both Wifi and 3G model has assisted GPS  rclxms.gif

google map does not use gps as you can even use your computer to pinpoint your location in google map. However, if you want to use directional maps like tom tom, only 3g ipad can support it.

Another point that i would like to add is. Sometimes especially you are using DiGi, the signal is pretty weak on some area of your house. You cannot just stick yourself to the wall with your iPad 3G but With MiFi you can just place it on the place with the strongest signal.

there are other ways to online using wifi-only ipad beside the need of having a mifi. I can tether my ipad to my iphone easily and just use my iphone data. No extra data required.

My apps changes every month. Nowadays, I am using Twitterific or Tweetime a lot. Other than the "iPhone" Facebook app (still wondering when can have a better FB client for iPad).

*
I am using Friendly - Facebook Browser for my FB client. Looks great but costly at USD4.99

How to reload upon finish using the prepaid digi (micro)sim card????

QUOTE(benny888 @ Aug 25 2010, 09:21 AM)
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

Thxs.... i just talk to the DiGi centre and was inform that Digi don't assist to top up for customer...
And need to insert (micro)sim card to a phone to reload

But the thing is that I need to get a converter to put the micro-sim and insert into normal phone to reload... it's kinda inconvenient...

just go to any hp shop and they will be happy to top up for you

or you use another DIGI line and dial from phone. Dial *123*16digit number*016 your phone no#

Magazines are usually standalone apps which do not go through iBooks.  If you have ePubs you can just drag to iTunes and it will sync for you.  If you have a PDF copy of the magazine, you can view using an app like Cloudreaders (free) or Goodreader (cheap).

On the SIM pack is the number of the account (014x).  You can also reload via ATMs or online banking (M2U, CIMBclicks, etc)

for pdf magazine, you can also add it in itunes and sync it. you can open them in ibooks

@Agito666: By default you can't transfer files from your phone to iPad because it doesn't support the OBEX File Transfer Protocol. However, there are ways/methods to go about (but I'm not sure how). I think Uncle Google is your best bet.
*
however, you can always do the old fashion way by emailing your files by attach them to your email. Then you can open and save the files in your iPad.

how to transfer .avi or .mkv video into iPad?

I use airvideo to convert. Or you can use OPlayer HD to upload the video in their native format and watch them on ipad.

Sg will be the nearest location for repair. I believe that the warranty is global. If u want, u can call up applecare sg to confirm.

now the better and faster option is using the free vlc player

1. Download and install vlc to your ipad
2. Plug your ipad to com and open itunes
3. Go to app tabs at your ipad tabs and scroll down
4. You will see sharing section and click on vlc and add the files
5. Itunes will just transfer the files over

Edit: Best thing is that you do not have to convert
