Hmmm.... I go find when I head there in 2weeks. But I dun care to buy from those stalls. I bought a few items before and when I open it up, the connectors inside were rusty, the mem chips were dusty (looks like they plug out from old mem stick to stick it on kind). I wonder if they have a local branded version.

i think got..nid to recce and see nia lor

[Satelitewhs]

don't know how come u all say cheaper to ship in from US let's see...

 

s'pore set cost $728 to $1228

US set cost $673 (USD499), to $1120 (USD829)

 

Plus shipping cost and 7% GST (remember u need to pay GST for items >$400) it's certainly NOT cheaper to ship in fr US.

 

Unless i got the prices wrong, which i got from official Apple s'pore site n USA site

You left out the sales tax, different % for different states. In New York, I think it's 12% sales tax. The prices listed in USA Apple Online Store doesn't include sales tax.

 

At least, Singaporea is fortunate to be one of the countries in Asia to get iPad launched locally... dunno how long will it be before Msia gets it. And as of today, I called 5 different shops and Challenger Cust Serv; all of them out of stock.

I think we are missing the point here regarding iPad.

 

It is not the hardware alone that determines to buy the iPad or to buy a copied one. It is the integration of hardware and software among Apple products that makes it attractive and fuss free to use.

 

So the questions are can you get the type of software you need to run your "pad"?

Can you sync your data with your PC or Mac seamlessly and fuss free?

Can you do whatever you need to do easily and fuss free?

 

At the end of the day, I use the iPad because it sync nicely with my iMac and iPhone. The key point is it is fuss free to use, and I don't get headache for using it.

 

Really, I am a sucker for Apple stuff.

I also quite interested in those Pads.... as long as it comes GPS, WiFi and it could use telco network...

Maybe it's a "typical" Singaporean trait - the constant focus on hardware...hahah

 

But I totally agree with you - it's the software and interface that won it for me...

 

I am still on the PC but both the iPhone and iPad syncs nicely as well...my PC is also acting as the air video server so that I can watch anything on my PC 24/7 almost anywhere

If that's what you want to do with a computer, then the Sony certainly fits your bill, the iPad won't.

 

I am not looking at doing words and excel or photoshop, I do these on my 27" iMac. What I am looking for is a good enough screen size computer that I can just pick up, turn on and surf the net immediately, in the toilet, on the bed, in Starbucks while waiting to pick up my wife. Sometimes maybe show some photos to friends. Who knows, I may start to read books in future. In essence, it's a piece of "metal and glass" for play, not work.

 

And most important, it doesn't runs on Windows and it sync properly and integrate nicely without giving me any headache. So for my application, the iPad fits my bill.
