Haha, what a lame statement the machines guy gave u, ipad is made officially unlocked, apple intention is to let the ipad be used on any network, that is y u can buy it at apple or it reseller, unlike iphones that is only sold by a telco..

I dun noe y e machines guy told u that, but im pretty sure so that everybody waits for the malaysian set and buys it, like me, i have already enjoyed my ipad, no need to find a wifi spot, in fact from my ipad i can transform it became a hotspot n my macbook can get wifi signal to browse or download via my ipad 3g connection..

U getting ur ipad in august? Why so late bro? I think by that time malaysia set shud be available already, and maybe im already on a different toy, (iphone 4) perhaps.. Hehe,,

my opinion

Hi fellow iPad users!
I bought an ipad 3G few months ago and I think this capability is actually not practical and costly.After doing some calculations,owning an ipad 3G with cellular subscription is actually a waste so I sold it to someone who appreciates it more than me.Moreover,after discovering the critical cons of iPad 3G..it got me to get the wi-fi only instead.Reasons are:-

-LOUSY 3G HARDWARE just like the iPhone
Compare the 3G signal strength in a MIFI device with iPad 3G.You'll be amazed that the MIFI signal bar is 5 while the iPad has only 3 bars. (DIGI)

-PACKAGE PLAN
This cost you another set of bill.If you're already using an iPhone,you could just jailbreak your iPhone for 'MyWi' application at a single cost of 9.99USD which enables you to use the program FOREVER,rather than paying 2 bills of monthly data usage.

'MyWi' application makes your iPhone a pocket wi-fi router for those who don't know.

-SECURITY WEAKNESS
With the recent AT&T security breach issue,It's affirmative..it's not the service provider.It's the weak iPad security protocol encrypted in the device.iOS 4 for iPad (August) might troubleshoot this matter.

-NO WATCHING HD VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE
That's right,you can't watch HD formatted video or video files that is over 40MB over the internet with your 3G reception.
When you're using MyWi or MIFI,although it uses 3G connectivity,your iPad believes it to be a wifi connection and watching HD videos would not be a problem.

Cydia has a lot of tweeks that rectifies this matter but who would be foolish enough to jailbreak an iPad? and since it's still new and expensive,I would bet that wise users won't jailbreak their iPad yet.



That's about that I could point out.Although it's not much,but all of these are critical.For those who plan to get an iPad.I would advice you to get the Wi-Fi only iPad.Thanks.

I think u never tried a 3g ipad, who says u cant watch HD video on you tube? Just off the celular mode, n the ipad will only use wifi n automatically choose hd streaming videos..

N please, u dun even know that the signals are more compared to an iphone, i got both ipads, my first wss a wifi 32gb, i donated it to my dad, now im no longer looking a wifi spot like a moron as i just can use my data anywhere i am.. Huhu..
