i am planning to buy i-pad 1 but i am wondering, is that worth to buy i-pad 1 now since it have release i-pad 2..FYI, i am student and has a really tight budget.. i am afraid i-pad 1 in future can't support a lot of application.. thanks in advance


p/s: sorry if have this kind of topic before

why bother on 1 and 2 since 3 is coming soon?

later still got 4 and 5...

but then if u say lidat, u will never get to buy an ipad.
u say ipad 2, ipad 3 sure coming soon.
if ipad 3, ipad 4 for coming soon.
and so on.

macam ini sampai mati pun tak payah beli

thanks for feedback.. so u guys say that it's OK to buy i-pad 1 now and don't worry about the application and usage in future??

haha i just bough an iPad 1 16gb not long ago I am very happy with my decision seeing that everywhere is out of stock ... iPad 2 improves just too little for me ...

thanks KHOdin..16gb tu kapasiti maksimum untuk memuatkan application dalam i-pad tu ke?? for example same like pendrive 4gb isn't?? sorry really noob question..

yes, your reply answered your question..

1st thing first, is what are you buying the ipad for?

Yea..Imagine what kind of stuff you will doing with ipad.

Watching videos, reading, light gaming and surfing net.
Ipad 1 can do all these so far.

Better get 32GB at least. Some 3d games can hit closer to 500mb storage.
Bigger storage is also good for those who don't want to waste time in converting videos into mp4..

Watch and delete. There are apps which allow to watch rmvb, mkv, avi, flv or so on.

As what i read..ipad 2 only a few thing diffrent ie weight/thinner a bit plus faster a bit. Its 2 camera is nothing to shout at. As a student y buy ipad? no usb port etc etc. save ur money and buy laptop/notebook. I hv ipad 1 but not buying 1pad2 cos not so much different as u know the price know is so high. Ipad 1 is good enuff and the news is ipad 3 is coming soon. Maybe wait for ipad 3.....

bro,
what are the real function of ipad?
i mean we spend our money to get what?

thanks everyone..I'm really appreciate for the feedback..i didn't have a good reason why to buy i-pad but it is more to playing the games, watching some movies and etc.. i own a laptop but i love to try a new gadget..

Sure when u hv xtra cash 2 spare. no one stopping u. save for ur future for now

thanks abahpenang..u said that u own i-pad 1.. so far, how is it performance?? any problem?? is that any special features in i-pad such as, GPS or etc?? is that i-pad is good for downloading??

im waiting ipad2...

is that 16gb is enough for playing games, watching movies?? is that lot of application can install with 16gb capacity?? and how much second hand price for 32gb??

Just bought my father in-law an iPad 1 16GB +3G in KLCC for his birthday. He's a happy camper.

I think 16GB is enough especially with Homesharing in iTunes and iOS 4.3, you can just stream the movies/music to your iPad from your iTunes library without having to put those movies/music into your iPad. This alone will save you a lot of space. I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4 where I upgraded from the 32GB 3Gs, I find that if I just put things (manage via iTunes), I will be able to fill up 10GB of stuffs in the iPhone, if I'm done listening to the music or if I'm not playing anymore with any of the games, I just deselect the apps/music from my iTunes and resync and I'll free up a lot of space. No problem. It's just a matter of managing the space and it's not that complicated.

storage is depends how u use it ...if u wan to keep throw stuff inside your ipad without managing them even 64gb won't be enough for u ... just keep stuff that you needed and delete the others 16gb would be more than enough...

bro azriel: u are such a good son-in law..hehe..thanks for the explanation..
bro KHOdin: thanks a lot bro..
myrazvar: pm me your best price and location bro... :-D


is that 3G is for internet?? how about the i-pad didn't have 3g?? is that the internet a bit slower??
