iPad 2

2011-07-17T13:49:00.000+08:00

It has been a long time since I last updated my blog. So, here I am, taking a rest from the busy life and update on iPad 2.

My iPad2 Information:
Model: iPad 2 3G + WiFi, 32GB - RM2199
Accessories: Blue iPad Smart Cover - RM159
Matte Screen Protector - RM58
Back iPad 2 Hard Case - RM52
Total: RM2468

Blue iPad Smart Cover

Back of iPad 2 with Hard Case

Basically, I'd spend around RM2.5K to check email, social, books, games and watching series. I'm now using iPad 2 more than my own laptop because I like to lay on sofa and do what I usually do with my laptop.

There are a lot of free application in Apple Store which I'm now already outdated. Just within 2 months, I manage to use 24G our of 32G of space. You can imagine how many free application out there. But some of the application are useful and fun while some you will get bored after sometimes. So, it is time to house keep my iPad 2.

So far, I feel iPad come in handy as I can bring it anywhere I want and with 3G enabled, I can use it anytime as long as the 3G network is available.

Now, talk about the cons of iPad 2, the front and rear camera quality is really bad. You can only use it for video call and nothing else. I did not use more than 5 times playing around with the camera due to the bad quality.

Although iPad 2 is 33% lighter than iPad 1, after holding for hours, you will still feel the weight on your hand. But, with the iPad Smart Cover, I still manage to make it stand on my belly.

For those who like to play flash games and watch video online, it might be a hard time for you because current iOS does not support adobe flash. As a window based user, I found it not so friendly when using the iOS compare with windows. For example, when I downloaded a video from my email, normally I will just double click it to play the video. To play the video from iPad 2, I cannot automatically save it to my local hard drive and play it. I guess this is the different between a PC and a iPad.

Now I can't wait for the latest iOS 5. It should be a great fun with the multitasking gesture and notification center.

iPad 2 is here

2011-05-20T19:51:00.000+08:00

Yes, as stated in the title, I'd gotten my iPad 2 last Monday. I'm now busy with my work and have no time to update my blog. Hopefully I will have sometime for myself to update more details on iPad 2

iPad 2 is coming to town

2011-05-14T07:21:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I received email from Apple store saying that iPad 2 is shipping. Estimated delivery date is 19th May 2011. Currently, I'm not sure where it's exact location.

Delivered by 19/05/2011

Where is Hhp?

WD Elements

2011-05-07T21:01:00.000+08:00

WD Elements 2TB (RM309) is what I get this round during PIKOM PC Fair. It took me some times to struggle just to get one hard disk. At the end, I went for WD Elements instead of My Book Studio 2TB (my 2 choices) because My Book Studio 2TB is out of stock.

During unpacking the box, to my surprise that the adapter have 3 type of changeable head which is good for those that always travel. But, I do not think that people will travel with a 3.5" hard disk.

Comparing to My Book Studio 2TB cost around RM349, My Book Studio cost RM40 more expensive but it include a auto backup software and during any damage to your hard drive within 3 years, Western Digital will restore the content of your hard disk. This is something which was not provided by WD Elements.

PIKOM PC Fair (I) May 2011

2011-05-07T20:31:00.002+08:00

Today I went to PIKOM PC Fair with my friend to shop for hard disk and to get some information about 3G plan for my future iPad 2. I manage to get the item I wanted but for the 3G plan, it was not fruitful as most of the sales person are promoting more on the postpaid plan rather than prepaid plan. However, me and my friend prefer prepaid plan which is more reasonable for us that will only use it on and off.

After one round of information gathering and sightseeing, I went to grab hard disk and a universal charger for my friend. Due to my hard disk cost around RM300 within single receipt, I'm eligible for the lucky draw and a PIKOM 25th anniversary post it note.

Items:

1. WD Elements 3.5" 2TB - RM309

2. CLiPtec Universal Charger - RM26

After monitoring the DHL site for a few days, finally it is here. I'm not sure why the Smart Cover and iPad 2 was not come in bundle (may be Steve Jobs does not want his customer to wait for an item too long), I had received my Smart Cover before my iPad 2. I'm going to leave the cover unwrap until I got my hand on my iPad 2

So, now have to wait for the delivery from online store. The estimated delivery date stated today is 23rd May 2011. Hope this date will not change in next few days.
