Back camera is quite useful for Augmented Reality apps. I would like 720p video recording on the new iPad.

it's just another lie. i still betting it is same like ipod touch 4th gen cam. video recording HD is due to the powerful processor.

yea it's the same as the iPod touch one... since they didn't emphasize anything about the camera...

720P doesnt mean it's high megapixels, it's only 1280*720 pixels

Malaysian r really unlucky ......iPad 1 out in us n we need to wait a year for it arrive Malaysia ..when a lot ppl bought it , the iPad 2 out soon , and the price for iPad less almost 50% compare to ap set that bring in by ppl .....
Really sad. ....
*
Dun worry, I think iPad 2 in Malaysia won't delay till so long.. I am betting April-May...

The reason why the first iPad wasn't brought in so fast is probably the concerns of a totally new type of product and they're considering the sales of it in Malaysia as well... Remember iPhone 3GS n iPhone 4? it was only 5 months in between lol...

should i buy ipad1 or wait for ipad2?


Added on March 3, 2011, 9:07 am

brooo, share with me your reason!
perhaps can use it for me too!  drool.gif
*
If you really need one, then just get the iPad1 because I am guessing malaysia need to wait at least until april-may to have it, if u wanna wait, means that you don't really need one... Hmm make sense? Besides, the old one now selling for rm1199, the new one probably around rm1549... there's still a price difference..

If you're a garage band user and make/record music, or wanna edit videos/movies on the go, then wait for the new iPad.. these usage would definitely benefit from the dual core processor...

Not an iOS user anymore here; is the garageband is really that good that you can even use it for commercial/production purposes?
yes please google more

Garage Band is one of the best, if not the best amateur recording softwares out there... You can see tons of the youtube singers using garageband, part of the reason is because it's so easy to use, free, the functions also much better than any windows recording software I have encountered before.. I am even thinking to jump to OSX for the sake of Garageband last time hahah.. To think that now it's available on the iPad2, you can imagine the number of ppl who make music would all be buying it now...

My youngest son switch to MAC just because of GarageBand. After few days on the MBP, he told me he should have switch to Mac OSX long ago . He was simply amazed at the OS - its stability and ease of use - he exclaimed " this thing never hang at all " unlike his Acer Inspire notebook. He now understand why I was always advise him to dump Windows

not sure u guys realise this but ipad will be launched in other countries like UK, AUS, CAN on 25th March, 2 weeks after the US launch.
so if u have frens there also, can rish by asking them to buy.

If you say UK, u're better off getting a grey set in LYP... UK has one of the most expensive Apple products.. the old iPad is selling for around Rm2.2k over here...

QUOTE(KHOdin @ Mar 3 2011, 10:24 AM)
anyone selling off their iPad 1 ? smile.gif

why dun new set, it's only RM1199 now.. I doubt anyone would wanna sell theirs less than RM1k, I am sure they got it for a much higher price.. and u won't wanna buy a 2nd hand for rm1000 when new one is just rm200 diff

UK sells one of the most expensive Apple products in the world, good luck! Their price of current iPad 1 around Rm2.2k, can get almost 2 in Malaysia which is only Rm1199 each now

to those who wish to get the iPad 2, i advise that u guys wait until it launch in Malaysia only buy. because Malaysia is the cheapest country in the world for iPad 1. so it should be the same for iPad 2 as well. why waste RM400-500 just for the 2-3 months wait time?
*
Are u calculating based on spot FX rate or what? Before price slash, it's RM1549, if consider HK n USA, it's also around the same RM1.5k-1.55k depending on the fluctuation of the currency daily...

I am looking at what kind of important/daily used apps/activities which must working under ipad 2.

Else the reason for the upgrade is plainly Showing off...

I feel the thickness looks pretty the same only curves in instead of solid edges.. the weight doesn't decrease much based on the documentation.

Don't really feel safe with the smart cover design. What if the whole thing drop on the floor. Better get folio style still.

If anyone don't have an ipad before, this is the right one.
Look at the unibody macbook family sleekness, the design remain the same until today.

I hope to see what are the interesting apps which really need multi-core to run.

iPad --> iPad 2 upgrade is showoff,

But not owning an iPad before, getting it now, I think it's a good purchase...

Anyways, I think the Garage Band would surely benefit from Dual core...

iMovie not compatible with iPad 1? Oh gosh..... Why why why?

I think it's because they wanna make it exclusive for newer products... Just like multi-tasking not available on iPhone 3G

Being lighter is a good enough reason for some ppl I think if they hold it as an e-Book for reading... 200 ounces make a whole lot of difference, it's around 90grams..

If you wanna edit movies on the go, iMovies is only available on iPad2 and the dual core processor would benefit a lot...

If you have a lot of frens n family using mac/iphone4, facetime is sure useful.. Better alternative to skype I guess...

I wonder how Garage Band on iPad 1 performs though... Probably not as smooth as iPad2 I am guessing, because even loading some musical instruments on iPad2 takes a few seconds...

Other than these, I would only imagine some high end graphic games would only be available on the iPad2?

Let's say I have budget of RM1500.

Should I get Ipad 1 3G 16GB now, or I should wait for Ipad 2 16GB Wifi only?
*
Well... I still can't find a significant use of an 3G iPad very much... Do you?

If I bring an iPad out, I would probably be using it at Uni library, starbucks etc... All these places got Wifi...

Lets say you need a GPS and you need to check the map in the middle of the street, or in the car... Well in this case, I could bare with my iPhone... In the streets, ppl can easily grab it from you and run away.. Especially in 3G deprived areas, it would bound to be useless with GPRS connections, talk about extra internet plans per month...
