An interesting revelation of possible features in iPad 3 ?? Well if it materialize, I suppose we can do away with casings protecting the sides

Yeah, i too feel like selling my 7mth old 32GB WiFi Ipadpad sweat.gif  doh.gif

main reason was bored wif it ady doh.gif cause my MB seems better biggrin.gif
*
Same, i bought the new MBA 11" to replace the iPad. THe MBA offer me so much more and in terms of portability quite similar as ipad. At least I can get serious work done on the MBA and not the ipad. I don't play games so will not miss it.
I also bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab also as a replacement too for the ipad as what I wish to do on the ipad the TAB could do and much better and offer more versatility. It is also very portable - easily slip inside my long panks pocket and 3/4 shorts
So my portable needs now is about 80 % on Tab and 20 % on the MBA

i'm planning to buy ipad1 soon
is it better to buy at machines or better buy at 3rd party seller like seller at lowyat plaza?
*
Of course buy from Apple authorized reseller unless the 3rd party guy can give you special price discounts. Personally I find the discount is not worth the trouble simply when comes to warranty they cannot handle it - the best they can do is to send in for you to the authorized service center
If you have intention to get from LowYat might as well buy from authorized sellers there or just go over to Lot 10 Machines or 10 mins further to Pavilion Epic

Some guys like to buy from LowYat because apps are supplied FOC - of course you know what type of apps you get-lah !! So if your new ipad suddenly freezes or hang for no reason than you know why.

I have a friend who bought it RM 100 cheaper plus free apps. MY !! was he happy than . I just ask him is it new set ; he said is new cos the seller guarantee it is. Than I ask him - did you see it is as a sealed unopen set ? NO was his answer. He said seller show him a sealed set. Than I ask him did you take down serial number. NO was his reply.
He said the seller ask him come back in half an hour to get it cos he need time to install the free apps - so you can guess how " new" it is.
A week later his ipad freeze and he no choice but to factory reset and thus lose all his " free apps".
So beware when you buy from 3rd party sellers especially if he offer you cheaper plus freebies apps

hey guys, just got an ipad and just got a question to ask:

say im playing 1 game (FIFA11) and halfway through playing, i go back to home and then open another new game (Modern Combat 2). Now when i quit MC2 and then go back to FIFA11, its basically "closed" and i have to begin from beginning (with all the credits and loadings) again?

Coz on the iphone i can just press home button to quit any game, and play multiple games and when i return back to the first game it will return to the point where i left off (in pause mode most of the time) but doesnt seem to be the case for iPad. so yeah just wanna know is this the case, or i did something wrong somewhere hmm.gif

Not all apps are multitask compatible on ipad. Check your apps specs. If you want multitask fully, only option is >>>>>> google for solution ; cannot quote here

Logically it will still be on sale in retail stores as long as there are stocks but not in online apple store. There is no more production of ipad1.

That will not be true for Ipad 2. Last time, first Iphone also take very long. But
subsequent Iphone you can it almost same time as US release. So we'll be getting
Ipad 2 in 11 March. Same time as US.
*
I don't know where you got your info

iPhone 4 was launch in USA on Jun 2010 . It was available in Malaysia only in Sept 2010

ipad was actually launch in USA on March 2010. It was available in Malaysia end Nov 2010

This is what Steve Job said about release of ipad 2:

Available by 11 Mar in USA , 25 March in other 26 countries : Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK

So, if it is like what you say, Malaysia is getting it same day Mar 11 ?? It must be fly in by some 3rd party guys definitely not by Apple Malaysia

My English understanding must be very poor than. These are your exact words :
QUOTE - So we'll be getting Ipad 2 in 11 March. Same time as US.

Anyway, I guess Digi is announcing some package offers ahead of actual availability. A common marketing strategy to attract potential buyers and hope such buyers will hold on and wait to take up Digi " irresistible" offer

hi,

any tips on buying open box iPad 1st generation ? this is open box dont know which set.
havent register yet in apple website for warranty purpose.
shall i get it ?
*
If it is open box set and already activated , ie you can see the apps etc - it is already activated . the warranty starts from the day it is activated. Be careful when buying open box set. Sometimes the seller factory reset it back and you think is not activated before - the best way to check actually warranty expiry date is to check it up at this website : just key in serial number

any idea how to make my ipad to act as an storage. I mean to drag and drop file into it. The thing is i plugged it onto my mac but the storage icon doesnt appear. can anyone help me with it

You use itunes to transfer files.
At itunes window scroll down select the appropriate app and select add files
do readup on features and how to use itunes with your ipad


Added on April 28, 2011, 7:36 amGenerally videos/movies on apple format works well. Other formats using third party viewer apps the performance varies from good to bad depending on video file . If you wish to have a good viewing experience it is still best to convert to apple format. Just use handbrake a free software to convert
