THose that treat it as a gadget of games playing, well, it will always remain as another PSP and NDS and if you one of those, please don;t get Ipad, you are only utilizing hmmm.. say 10% of what it capable of .

If you know what you want to do with it and there are apps that support it, I guess, you will find it amaze.

I agree with this part... Nowadays many people buy the iPad because it is trend, if you know what I mean... I have nothing against them, it's their money, their choice...

Yeah... Most of my friends owns an iPhone only knows how to play games, facebook, foursquare and iPod..... They do not know what's iOS, multitask, etc. Some of them do not even know what's data usage, and end up receiving 200++ in their bill... doh.gif
They bought it mainly because everyone is using it...

I would get iPad (wifi) just for casual web surfing, or watching youtube videos. Its not a substitute for a laptop.

Reason I purchase iPad.

1. Reading E-book. iPad allow me to read book in dark room. Of course, lying down in switched-off light room.

2. Movie. iPad allow me to watch movie when traveling.

3. Surfing internet before sleep and after woke up. Lazy to turn and off PC.


Gaming ? No for me, PSP is much more better.
Typing ? No, a cheap laptop is x100 better.

Thanks for the reply. Ipad by default can open MS Office files with pre-installed Office suite ? Or I need to install 3rd party Office first ?

Can I use FaceTime over Maxis/Digi/Celcom/UMobile 3G broadband internet ?

Your 1,2 and 3 are part of my reasons too but my other reasons are

4. The small and light form factor easy for hand carry in air plane.

5. Fast start up for presentation.

6. Photo album.

7. On the spot information googling any time, any where with 3G.

Aeiou, to answer your query on FaceTime, I had used FaceTime via maxis broadband but it has to go through a mifi device as FaceTime only works with wifi connection.

I use my ipad to read pdf ebooks - science text books (Biology, Physics, Chemistry, etc) and encyclopedias - reference stuff which I use in my work as an editor. Imagine carrying those thick heavy books around. Now I don't have to. It reads these large files (up to 120 MB) with no problems, and fast to open, too. I use Safari to check my emails from contacts - which it does very well. I read the current CNN news as they are featured.

For serious work and portability I use my Samsung N150 netbook.

These two combinations are good enough for me. No need for ipad 2.

Documents to go is pretty good, i even use it to edit word docs. All in all it's a useful tool, but not vital. If u can afford it, why not bring it along to work? I'm a ollege student and it's great fr just slotting in between my books and for tsking notes, and games, and social networking. Oh, and browsingg.
