Looking for one iPad 32GB but still cannot decide which one to go.I'm definitely need a data plan (using broadband)

Most of the time i need iPad to navigate GPS and suft for information.

Ipad 3+Cellular+Wifi

PRO
- Easier to carry.
- No need worry about the battery of mifi modem.

CON
-Expensive RM400 than wifi model.

Ipad 3+Wifi only

PRO
-Save RM400 can spend on cover/SP .

CON
- Need to take mifi modem along.
- Afraid of battery running down of modem.

So what do you guys think? Give me some more pros and cons that i havent think about. Thanks !


P/S note : Mifi modem is very portable, just like a pendrive(bigger). Easier to carry as well.

As for me, iPad wifi serve me just good enough, I got a smart phone with unlimited data plan. I can tether whenever I need it outside. However I find that most of the time I was using wifi. Wifi was just too common now adays. Anyway this is very subjective to particular person. My 2 cents.

Very similar to my situation.
Get a WIFI iPad, tether it with a smartphone will do.
Most of the smart phone can do this already.

If im not mistaken, wifi only model doesnt have gps. Since you mention that you'll be needing gps, then 4g model is compulsory.

If you need GPS then there is only 1 choice: the iPad 4g model.the Wi-Fi only model doesn't have GPS.period

Worth the extra 400 bucks. Huawei C5 MiFi already 300 bucks. Plus, WiFi model no GPS chip. Add another 150 bucks for BT GPS and need to JB the iPad. Too much hassle.

Go for the cellular version since u use GPS a lot! Wifi version don have the GPS chip inside

Now u may have feel it is easy to bring mifi and your iPad , sooner or later, u will feel so regret why at first u don't choose the 1 with cellular built in

Why must ipad?
Other tablet work same or better compare to ipad and cheap some more....
Why must ipad?

So can show off to his fren saying this is my new iPad while for other tablet, it is not that famous and not so well known

one word: itunes. can't live without it, can't live with it. unless u break from jail and free yourself.

i have 2 tablet
1.ipad
2.samsung android

for me i read a lot so i prefer using ipad ,download a lot of magazine/book by using newsstand/ibook,it just cost 0.99-3.99 still low cost for buying a physical magazine

by the way , i using wifi 32G only and most of the time i tether it with a smartphone.If i need to look for location ,just using google map.Google map also can help you relocation.For me ,i'll use additional 400 to get 64G,32G not much

people are very visual by nature. u put a ipad side by side even with the highest specs android tablet, the ipad looks so wonderfully beautiful. but don't be deceived by its looks. it doesn't claim that "it only does everything". and even their marketing doesn't claim that.

but between 3g version and wifi version. that's hard to say depending on your needs. but look at it this way: its now a defacto standard that all high end tablets have GPS, at least in the android world. since ipad is high end, you should not compromise for 2nd best.

Why Ipad?

Im android and apple user.

I prefer apple tablet than android tablet. Simple,neat,stable and smooth.(my opinions,android also stable)

I dont use iPad for show off like others. Most of the time i keep my iPad inside my bag unless i need to use it. I need for note-taking , magazine reader , and many more. Moreover i dont buy iPad for facebook purpose or gaming or replace my laptop. I just liked to read whenever am i so i can spend my time wisely instead of playing game. I spent most of my time at outside waiting public transport and so on. It is impossible to ask me carry many books when i go outside , so iPad can help me.

But for smartphone i prefer android than apple.

Confirm will jailbreak.


Ya i need to confirm this. Ipad wifi only dont have gps , but with connect to INTERNET also cannot track?


Thanks for contributing your opinions.

your service provider can also provide information on aproximately where u are (base on the line setup). but it won't be exact. have u used google map without gps on? what will happen is google maps will give u a approximate circle on where u are. and that circle radius can be pretty big. and coz of that, the direction navigator won't work. basically u just will know where u approximately are, and that's it. no other gps service can be used.

3g if you plan on using it outside with no wifi. I bot the wifi but now wish I had just bot the 3g instead. Oh well.....

Yea! Thats why i bought the Cellular version of New iPad because i am so damn regret after i bought the Wifi only version iPad 2 last time

Ya lor. Quite a shame. The only person not complaining is my gf. Cos i've passed the wifi version to her hahah

Whoa bro, didn't know you under probationary moderator now haha

Becuz she got it FREE!! haha

Hehe .. thx

Given the bolded part, opt for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model.
