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) http://www.macrumors.com/2010/08/09/cortex...1q-2011-launch/ Added on August 13, 2010, 8:53 amQUOTE(aleluya @ Aug 12 2010, 11:12 PM) 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.

QUOTE(pcboy @ Aug 19 2010, 11:10 AM) Just bought an iPad 3 days ago after sold my i4 to my brother  Any apps that can play 720p mkv files? Already tried OPlayer but the video n sound dont sync  the OPlayer version 1.0.06 does support 720p files. Added on August 19, 2010, 11:54 amQUOTE(mbcx4jrh @ Aug 19 2010, 11:34 AM) 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... This post has been edited by jphlau: Aug 19 2010, 11:54 AM

QUOTE(neekun @ Aug 20 2010, 07:32 AM) 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  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.

QUOTE(leongtat @ Aug 23 2010, 11:08 AM) 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. Added on August 23, 2010, 11:08 amthere 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.

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.

QUOTE(arthurlwf @ Aug 27 2010, 01:54 PM) 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

QUOTE(morituri @ Aug 30 2010, 09:56 AM) 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). Added on August 30, 2010, 10:01 amOn 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

QUOTE(TechnoDude94 @ Sep 6 2010, 09:50 PM) @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.

QUOTE(pingupink @ Sep 14 2010, 08:03 AM) 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.

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
