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?

QUOTE(Eidilfitrix @ Mar 11 2012, 11:24 PM) 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). Thanks for reply ... 2) That's exactly what I meant. Means if I masuk SKYPE once ... then i press the home button ... it will 'quit' but is the app still running ? Means will other ppl still see me as "online" ? If they call in or msg, will I get the call / msg ? Of course if video calling half way press home button then will cancel. 3) Oh? You can have both eh? I didn't know that .. thanks. 4) I think I'm going to buy WIFI only .. shouldn't make any difference then right ? Warranty wise it's global ? I can claim warranty here as well ?

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 ?

Hi guys ... I'm wondering does it matter where we get our iPad's from ? All warranty will still go back to Apple right ? I mean for example if I buy from Harvey Norman, then if got problem can I go to Machines to claim warranty?

Anyone buy the new iPad from Onking before? Are they reliable? How to check if they are selling genuine iPad or not? If I buy from Onking, then something wrong with the iPad then I still can go back to Machines or something right?

QUOTE(Joelles @ Aug 5 2012, 11:32 PM) Why don't you buy the iPad from any local Apple reseller since you're doubt about it? Any particular reason buying from Onking? Added on August 5, 2012, 11:35 pmIianm, there's a tweak in Cydia where you can force your iPad to 3G but you need to Jailbreak your iPad in order to do so. Coz I got alot Maybank points and can get free iPad if I convert to Onking vouchers hehe .. anyway I have called them and they say they dont carry iPad so too bad for me

QUOTE(Joelles @ Aug 12 2012, 12:50 PM) Its a tweak features from Cydia not from AppStore, you have to jailbreak your device in order to do so. Oh ok understood. One more question, when I connect my iPad to my pc, the indicator at the top right corner says not charging. Is this normal? I try with the wall charger is okay.

QUOTE(eikozai @ Aug 15 2012, 10:41 PM) Its normal. Roughly 4-5 hours for full charge. Make sure u charge before the battery drop below 10%, otherwise ur battery will have shorter lifespan. Its okay to overcharge, but never let it drop to 0%. Woah crap .. really ? I didn't know that .. damn .. thanks for the advice .. btw ok to overcharge ? Hmm I never over charge my batteries ... got 1 of those timer thinggy .. so usually i record the number of hours for full charge then i time it .. What about charge half way ? Like stop at 50% ... any side effects ?

I've got more questions too haha. Does pinching with 5fingers = exit app and deleting the icon from springboard = uninstall app?
I'm asking coz I've installed sbsettings and I can now monitor my memory and seems like it keeps dropping and never increase back after I pinch my apps with 5 fingers which I assume is already quitting the app. After I reboot the ram should be about 700+ but now only have around 100+ ... Any thoughts?
If pinching is not quitting an app then how do you view/close all background running apps?
