Kids nowdays are just too smart....dunno is good or bad. Just afraid that the IPAD will make her experience lesser physical interaction with others.

I think it's caused by the environment and milk powder, anyway who's saying iPad is not for Education?

Here's my 20 months daughter playing her iPad

My 2 year old nephew knows how to open angry birds and play it.. Not accurate but sometimes he would shoot something unexpectedly good LOL

keke..yes,kid nowadays very smart..but for study, not sure...

wow! so cute!!

YES WORTH IT! I'm getting for my mother..

A member in my family wants to get one for me.

I'm a uni student and working part time

Since I'm usually on the move I plan to use it for browsing, online banking, emailing and presenting slides

Since I have no ipad experience (total noob here -.-)
1. This Ipad Wi-Fi + 3G allows me to stay connected to the internet basically anywhere, am I correct ? Although I do understand that it doesn't have Flash Player which is totally fine with me at the moment

2. Most of my slides are done in Microsoft PowerPoint, since I understand the Ipad 2 doesnt support this, any ideas how I can work around this ? Basically what I do is present them to my clients and later discuss with and old fashion pen and paper, or with a whiteboard if one is available

3. Can I hook up my Ipad 2 to a projector and present my slides ?

4. Oh and got car charger for Ipad 2 ? Haha sounds like a silly question -.-

Appreciate any help from you experts

1. It allows you to stay connected as long as the telco provider have coverage. You need to commit a monthly payment if you want a 3G data plan. Or consider YES 4G, but it has a large upfront cost.

2. Can do slides, but those apps need a separate purchase.

3. Yes... but you need to buy a digital AV connector (can't remember the exact name).

4. This one oso I'm interested. But generally, IPad2 can last longer than your car journey unless you drive from JB to Thailand.

@gibber ..

1) Basically yes, if there is Edge or 3G signal, you'll be alright .. but with GPRS, forget it, too slow. There are quite a number of mobile broadband out there, try them out. For my wife, I settled for Celcom 3G for better coverage.

2) & 3) Yes .. Read more here http://www.apple.com/ipad/from-the-app-store/keynote.html .. and there is few other apps which allow you to do the same thing.

4) ipad requires more output current than the normal, no idea if there is any adaptor that will allow you to charge ipad in the car, but it can trickle charge using iphone charger. Check Griffin charger, they might have one that will charge ipad2 too.

That is the consequence when overplay with gadget.

You lost social, interactive, physical and outdoor sense.

We, the parents should know the limit. I do let my son played with the ipad (he knows how to go about in youtube and he is just 30 months old), but I do monitor him. I still bring him outside as normal .. he usually asked for the ipad before going to sleep.

1) yes, but don't forget you need a data plan. Sign up for celcom/maxis/digi or whatever other broadband and put the simcard into your ipad and you are good to go. However, 3g coverage in malaysia is not really that wide, so yes, in some places where you only get GPRS signal, you can forget about getting online. But if you were stay in KL, then it's not really a problem

2) yes, it does support power point slides but u need to purchase an app for it

3) yes, buy the digital AV adapter . depending on your projector got which input (HDMI or others), buy it, hook it up and there you go. the projector or TV will be mirroring what it's show in ur ipad

4) i think got. normal car charger for iphone is charging too slow ( your ipad must be in locked mode for it to be charged)

wow, so many fast responses !

Yes, I'm staying in Seri Kembangan and study in Cyberjaya and mostly do my business in Subang Jaya and Shah Alam. I don't really understand all this 3G, GPRS or Edge thing but I guess I can always ask Maxis about it .

Oh, I see. So let's say I'm hanging out in Starbucks or McD, I still can get connected by using their WiFi services, correct ?

Any issues about the build quality ? Does the screen crack easily ?

many fanbois here help marketing ipad for free so in the future, more people go queue up with them lol.

ask maxis? hm...i doubt u can really get a good answer since they will surely say it's good.

if you are in starbucks or McD or any other place that offer free wifi, yes, you can connect to it using their wifi service (if you got the password and i think many of these free wifi service is very slow)

if you like to surf the internet or do light word processing while lying on bed and want a light, medium size simple and easy to use tablet, get an iPad.

i find the iPad highly functional.

not worth it...ipad2 is over priced and lots of problems...don't waste your money. Get ipad1 instead as it is proven to be more stable and much cheaper.











...pssk...now we got less people queueing and fighting for ipad2 in shops...

Worth it or not? I am questioning this matter too but the only way I can be sure is to buy it! No worries as resell value is still high considering the demand.

Haha.. nice try!!

Slowly all this gadget will occupy his time. Not just the ipad. Got iphone, ipod, ps3, pc, etc. Calculate 1day how many hour have been occupy by this gadget.

But still depend on the parent how active his/her for the outdoor social.
