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

I see, thanks for the thoughts bro smile.gif

Hi guys ... planning to get the new ipad from the states when i go there next month ... but got few question here:

1) Apple still doesn't support flash? Is there any way to go around this ? Like external app or something ? Nowadays so many website use flash ....

2) iPad support multitasking? Actually my main question here is to those who use skype alot. My main reason for buying iPad is for my parents to use. I travel alot and I want to video call with them with my Skype on my laptop. Can skype run on background so they don't have to leave the skype app open all the time?

3) The App store recognize regions? I mean since we're in Malaysia, can we buy apps from US ? Or there is just 1 and only one app store?

4) Any difference buying the iPad from US and buy from Malaysia few months later ? I scared later version not same, this not same that not same, cannot use in Malaysia. Anything need to "Crack" or change if I buy from US and use in Malaysia? Anyone tried buying iPad from US before?

1. Adobe has killed off flash, now everything is getting use to HTML5. There's an app which runs flash on iPad (Forgot its name). However, it will be very slow.

2. Don't understand what you're asking bro. If you return to home without exiting (closing the app by double tapping the home button), it will still run at the background, but i think the video recording will be paused but the audio will continue, i think.

3. You can create both US and MY itunes store.

4. It is still the same ... If you're planning to buy an iPad from the US, make sure to buy the AT&T version (GSM).

No need, when you buy it, it will charge you an extra 7% if i'm not mistaken.

maybe u can try check it out see whether u can claim back the 7% if u take airplane back KL....

The 7% is not electronic tax when you bring it back to Malaysia, it is Singapore's GST tax if i'm not mistaken.

how about Malaysia Customs?Planning to go there to buy around 3-5 pcs for me and some other friends..after convert its about Rm1580..but if i'll be charged with tax to bring back then i think its not worth anymore....

I think you will get the GST tax upon purchasing your iPad in singapore and about getting the tax refunded, i thought it only works when you take a flight back, will not work if you're driving. however i'm still not confirm, i hope there forumers who can verify this.

Hi guys .. I got a question about buying the new iPad from US or SG. Will the package be EXACTLY the same as when it reaches Malaysia? I know warranty is international but what about the power plug and stuff? Is it the same also?

The apps store should be no problem coz we can create US app store account and also MY app store account right ?
*
1. To answer on your question regarding the wall adapter, absolutely no problem with the US.
2. Warranty is international.

iHelpBoard website says 4th May.

Only time will tell. Keep checking Apple's announcement after 23 March.

I don't really believe iHelpBoard. They are just expecting while MalaysianWireless has proven the date on the launch of the 4S to be exact before. Nevertheless, the dates could be any time.

Wow, MalaysianWireless says mid-end April ... which is even better. Keeping my fingers crossed.

So far no news from MalaysianWireless. I take it back. They may have the launch date for the 4S correct but they dont have a clue on the new iPad. Random guessing. What a turn off. I'll be scrapping off MalaysianWireless as of now. Looking forward into iHelpBoard's prediction.

I'm getting it for my mom. She most probably just gonna use it at home with wifi. Don't think she'll need the 3G version as she rarely goes out.
Wha do u mean authorized reseller like machines?

Btw do u think the price will further reduce when the new iPad arrive Malaysia?

Cheers

Hi bro, the price won't reduce as it already reduced significantly. Slashed by RM300. Apple won't simply reduce their price and everyone knows that tongue.gif Only if new product comes, they would reduce it.

That being said, they already reduced the price after the launch of the new iPad nod.gif

Sifu here, anyone know if the Power Support anti glare or crystal clear film for IPad 2 is compatible with the NEW IPad ?

Screen size is the same?
*
Screen size is the same bro.

If you're buying the new iPad, avoid getting the glare version. Get the ultra crystal clear. If you bought the glare, then there is no purpose of having the retina display iPad.

The prices are going to be the same as iPad 2 (Before it got slashed).

Or if you can always add the current iPad 2 16GB Wifi price now + RM300. That will be the price. kthxbai

To me, personally i would wait. Extra RM300 for all those features, don't mind if i do (It's the same prices as the iPad 2 once before, so hell yeah) biggrin.gif

But some would just settle down to the iPad 2 (some due to financial and some think they it's more than enough for them) smile.gif
