but using google maps on Ipad is great right? such a big screen..haha...

You know you don't need the 3G version to use google maps right?

Anyways, I thought you already have a Asus A42Jv, Acer Aspire One Happy.... Still need an iPad? LOL

Google Map is not exactly impressive because even my house road has not been updated yet even though I have lived there for 2 years!

However, if you have Papago on an iPhone already, which is extremely accurate and helpful, what's the use of a iPad with GPS?

A42JV = gaming on the go...
Acer Aspire One Happy = mobile internet with Win7
Apple Ipad = reader and fun apps

LOL...

well, the big screen...lol

If Malaysia launch in April then singapore should be a tier above Malaysia so it might launch earlier right? March 25 along with the 2nd tier markets maybe? Or 2weeks earlier than Malaysia, which will put it early april? As long as it launch in Singapore it doesn't matter when Malaysia is launching since anyone who wanted one can fly out and buy in Changyi airport. that is if you are really desperate lah.

contemplating to sell my ipad1 32gb wifi in light of the new ipad...but cannot justify myself as the current ipad is good enough for me

i dun think ipad2 change that much for ipad1 user to upgrade. Ipad2 mostly for us new user.

no retina display improvement. maybe in next generation ipad 3. facetime is still the best add-on.

How much in Msia?

Apple products always have fixed price unless currency fluctuates and got price adjust.. So expect rm1549..

I'm in the US right now.

If I want to buy the 3G version and I want to use Maxis in Malaysia, I should buy the AT&T one right?

Would I need to unlock/jailbreak it if I want to use it in Malaysia?

AT&T one, dun get Verizon since it won't work... Apparently it's not locked so you can use it with Maxis..

If you r outside with no WIFI. and your IPAD is not 3G,
Then how you get the google map to give you direction via GPS.

You have to somehow download the map before going out right?
Can you do that on ipad??

there's offline map from google and other supplier.

So.... 3G is the best?

i dun remember wifi models got GPS, only 3G has it

Only 3G models has GPS tied in. Anyway I find it just uncomfortable using such a big gadget as GPS - you placed it infront of you at dashboard - it just takes up too much space and you need to buy a holder for it. It is more of a novelty.
Actually if one drives a car any of the available GPS units is anytime better - you can choose screen displays from 3 inch to 5inch. And if you already have a smartphone, most of it nowadays has GPS builtin

Heard if u get 3g is locked to telco is that true? I meaning US set

Nope. Ipad is not locked.

Things to note:

- iPad (first-gen) is carrier-locked in certain (unfortunate) countries, and the US of A is excluded from this.
- With the release of iPad 2, it's confirmed that it shall not be locked to any carrier at all.
- If you plan to purchase an iPad from the States, please get the AT&T one. Verizon's CDMA networking is useless in Malaysia, as all major Malaysian telcos use GSM.

- Only the iPad 3G has a-GPS (assisted GPS), which means the GPS uses some data from the network to assist in locating you.
- And as for Google Maps, you need some form of data connection (Wi-Fi / 3G) to be able to download the map and pinpointing your current location.
