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

a whole new niche product, lol

anyone can review about different non 3g with 3g??

Non 3G got wifi only, 3G have a MicroSim slot. The 3G only for data, cannot use for voice.

Why I don't particularly prefer the 3G version.

If I am at home, I have Fibre Optic Wifi - 3G will not be used
If I am in the office - My office use Wifi also, so no need to use 3G
If I am at the airport, most likely it will have Wifi - No need to use 3G also
If I am in KLCC, Starbucks got Wifi, no need to use 3G also ...

So don't know when or where I want to use 3G.

Off course, if you have 3G, then you don't need to worry about not having Wifi but I dunno if the the extra price (RM450 at least) is worth it.

for me i think better to use the extra money to get a mifi ... yes u need to carry another gadget but u can even link your laptop to mifi for internet access ...

if i have a 3g, is that i can surf the internet without paying anything and can surf anywhere i want?? i read that i-pad have a GPS but GPS can't work without 3g?? is that true??

of course u need to pay the for the data plan fee which lock with digi maxis celcom or U mobile...iPad dont have build in A-GPS that why need 3g to lock in signal ...

ok tq bro.. i already got poison with i-pad..anyone want to sell it?? hehe

Let me share some of my views as a uni student regarding my purchase of iPad 1 back in the February.

I had been planning to purchase it back since the day it was released as I'm like you, wanted to try out new gadget. Yet I'm worried that it might not serve much purpose as well, it's an entertainment consumption device.

But after purchasing it, a 32GB wifi+3g version, I realize that I had started to read more ebooks (manga, article journals..) far than I had ever imagined. Squinting my eyes on a big monitor or laptop screen doesn't provide those reading experience as I always wanted. Yet with iPad, I'm able to read it while leaning on bed, or on the cafe.

Fast forward 2 months and boom, iPad 2 had released, just as the rumors had said it would be. At first I'm worried as I seemed to purchase an 'outdated' device. But after seeing the specs, I realize that this purchase is the best bang for bucks.

Even though iPad 2 sports 2 cameras, faster processor and lighter weight, it doesn't really matters much UNLESS the resolution is bumped up. The weight of iPad 1 is not really THAT heavy and the price now is really cheap. I don't really game much on the iPad so the faster graphic processor doesn't really matters much.

tq bro Private.G.. u are add more poison into my blood to get i-pad..hehe

Haha. I would recommend to go for 16GB which sells for around 1k or below or 32GB if you intend to install many apps.

For me even though I got the 3G but I only used it once when the Internet in my home is down. My uni and my home is covered by wifi. But with 3G it's a convenient factor if you wanted to surf net on public places such as shopping mall. E.g. going to Video Store and IMDB the blu-ray video that you are going to purchase to know the rating and reviews.

thanks bro.. how about u sell ur i-pad to me..
