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.  Or should i buy Ipad 2 straight? 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  |

lol my main concern is that the Ipad one cannot be updated in the near future(looking at how Apple upgrades their products so fast) just like the Ipod touch 1.

QUOTE(echineko @ Mar 26 2011, 01:53 AM) The existing Ipad 1 is more than decent enough, especially since you won't be doing anything too heavy duty on it. I currently use mine for work emails, the 'net, reading, watching stuff while mobile, and of course various apps. I'm getting an Ipad 2 because I love my Ipad, and any improvement will only be a bonus (though I know I dont actually HAVE to). Haha well I am going to buy this using my birthday present fund. Still haven't touched the money yet. @@ just need parent's permission and good justification. If you're conscious of the budget, I'd say the Ipad 1 will be good for at least another 1 year, when perhaps the next model will introduce some major improvement, if not, maybe even 2 years, no problem. Don't waste cash if it's an issue for you.  Actually, to be more precise, since you're a student, don't waste your parents' cash, be like me later on and waste your own   But my concern would be the resale value looking at iPod touch 1 & iPod touch 2. Itouch 1 has seemingly become obsolete as it cannot be updated whereas itouch 2 still can be updated with the latest iOS n still have 2nd hand value(although not a lot but there are still buyers). Or am I being too paranoid? Okla if I decided to get iPad 1, is it advisable to get 2nd hand. Yes I an very kiamsiap with my money although I know I can afford a brand new one. >< QUOTE(Chyan @ Mar 26 2011, 02:22 AM) If you got earned some yourself by any means ( Erm got a little bit of funds la. >< ) Just buy. LOL QUOTE(kael90 @ Mar 26 2011, 02:33 AM) Its better to buy ipad 2 since its already coming out...unless you have an iphone4 then ipad 1st gen would be sufficient for studies... erm I have an itouch4, so what does make me?  Added on March 26, 2011, 10:27 am QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Mar 26 2011, 01:39 AM) IPad 2 no exact release date.. Maybe April or maybe May.. And it's gonna be rm1549.. Rm350 more expensive, u think urself whether u need to extra functions in the new one? Buy old one can get it now.. The extra money can fund for ur next lens betterzz Rm350 extra seems quite reasonable to me. Argh.  Lens got another budget. This post has been edited by zstan: Mar 26 2011, 10:27 AM |

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