If you guys would rate below activities, which of these consume more battery power?

1. Gaming
2. Playing movie or
3. Having wifi on and surfing net

Also, I can't seems to load youtube video on ipad..why ah?

i think is surfing net is consumer more power... either gaming or that...depend the app's power management and CPU management

In sleep mode do you guys off the wifi + 3g? Is there big difference if leaving it off and on when necessary?

Those HD graphic games will consume more battery,

If you cant load video on ipad in safari is normal, if you cant load video on ipad's youtube app, there might be a problem with your line.

At home usually i off my 3G and leave the wifi on, when i'm outside i off my wifi and 3G on.

TS, for the Official Mac Retailer in the first post, actually Melaka do have Mac City @ Hatten Square. You can update it if you want. I got my iPad 2 there..

Been there before iPad 2 launched.Well arranged shop.
Convenience to get a chat on the specs.
Thus,Ferrari casing for iPad are eye catching...

nah, now lazy update, i just put a link there can already
since quite rare got people to visit first post...

and ipad users are not that dump right?

my ipad drains about 5% during standby mode while i sleep..(10 hours sleep) is that normal?

will closing apps in background by pressing the home button twice and exiting all the background application helps to extend the battery life in standby mode? cause all the games that i've been playing are all running in the background.

OMG OMG OMG

since Siri is 4S only (Siri voice control (iPhone 4S only) - sauce).....

Do you think it will also be on the iPad 2 ?? Since its having same processor but possibly half the amount of RAM

hi all..

im new to the apple product..
im just buying Ipad 2 wifi + 3g

my prob is I cannot use App Store and iTunes if im connecting with wifi..
I can use the App Store when disable my wifi and just using 3g..
Im using my uni wifi right now.. Not sure if the my uni block of using App Store address..

^ Maybe they did?

Also there's a file size limit on apps that you can download through 3G... i think 20MB?

Well arranged shop at nice location, but the workers there are far behind compare to the real apple employee when i was in europe/Aus.
Last weeks i was there to have a look on 27" iMac. When i was trying out the 27" iMac (Actually their demo is old model), the fella came and asked me, 'Do you know how to to use ar? U got Apple product before onot?' I was like errrr..wtf? Sounds not comfortable.

is like that one gua....

because most of malaysian using microsoft which is not like other country that majority using mac stuff so the employee maybe wan to teach you how to use leh...

Lets say I want to send my iPad 1 for warranty so usually how long will it take?

Was having some probklem updating my ipad 2 to iOS5 : Error message was :

The iPad could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested build" on OSX.

here was the fix: Need to edit the host file

On finder under the go menu select go to folder and type /etc/ then look for hosts right click to open with text edit and this is what you should see.


##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

Just delete the entry (74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com) this which comes after localhost

if you're having trouble editing the hosts file, make a copy on your desktop then edit and save and replace the one from the /etc/ folder. Or rename original host file and copy the revised host file over

Depends on Service Center. If u want faster better go straight to VR TECH.

What's the difference buying through Apple Online Store and getting it directly at local Apple Resellers?

Will we get the newer production of iPad by buying through online?

If you buy from the local shops, you can ask for some free gifts. Buying online is convenient for those who stay at places that do not have Apple resellers. Delivery is fast. I bought ipad 2 for my friend ( took about 6 days to receive) and recently I bought a MBA 13.3" ( took about 8 days ). I'd think that getting online you will get the newer batches
