Like all electronic items... Obsolescence will always be there given sufficient time. Hence iPad 1 timeline/ life cycle will be around 2 to 3 years of good usage. Just like iPhone 3G to 3GS to 4. By the 3 year, u will probably change to iPad 5 lol.. So don't worry about it being obsolete and resale value... Important things is if u need it now,, just get it. iPad 1 is good enuf for decent usage plus price is affordable now.

The quest for continuous upgrade is forever...lol

Invest in a decent matte sp if u like smooth scroll. Clear sbishoit the Susah to scroll at times if finger is oily.. And a good decent case.. Take care of it n it will serve u well beyond yr needs...lol

Hmmm so I guess iPad one is good enough for my studies la. hmm.gif

Let's say if I am settled on the iPad one wifi 32gb which costs 1499? How much should I need to fork out to get the accessories like screen protector and the cover which allows te iPad  to stand upright?

I've checked a few threads at the garage sales and they certainly don look cheap. sweat.gif

Look for these accesories in eBay, they're much cheaper, a lot of them also get stock from china then sell it in Malaysia for slightly higher price so they could earn the margin... While some ppl are willing to pay extra because of not having to wait for it to ship...

You need to know what version you want to buy TBH.
iPad 1 16GB Wifi is hardly available for Apple Stores, Resellers and Online Apple Store.
The next cheapest model may be the next to be hard to get.

Be quick!

IMHO, if you are the first time iPad buyer, then go for iPad 2 ... Unless your purpose for using iPad is mainly surfing the net, facebook or other social networking, light gaming (don't care about the latest games) and want to take advantage of the price drop of iPad 1 ... then go ahead with Ipad 1.

The litmus test is when some apps (mainly games) take advantage of the faster processor/gpu/gyroscope, you don't feel you are left out.

Dear all Ipad users,

I am quite tempted to buy the Ipad one for my studies after the price drop upon the release of Ipad 2.

But my main concern is, knowing apple products, will it become obsolete 1-2 years later? Just like the Ipod touch 1.  unsure.gif  unsure.gif  Or should i buy Ipad 2 straight?  unsure.gif 

Any views by apple users? As a student i can't be changing these kind of stuff every year lor..later they one fine day say Ipad One not compatible with the new iOS update then really sad.gif  sad.gif  sad.gif
