All About Ipad

[AgDearie]

I have iPad 1 and iPad 2. I find these iPads are very useful, if you know how to make full use of it, beside playing games, stream or watch dramas/movies, you will find it an angels… and a good tools for the kids.


My boys hate my iPads, I tell you why. Beside using it as an entertainment gadget, I have turn those iPads into their revision tools. I saved all the study notes, test papers, some model composition for them to read on the move.

I find it so easy, becos I do not need to bring piles of books or assessment when we go out. I just have to turn on the iPad, the material all there. Ha Ha! Once they have done their revision, then iPad will be there to entertain them… One stone kills two birds…

Oh.. so far, I have never paid for a single App for iPhone and iPad.. :evil: :evil:

Usually, I just browse the Appshopper for popular Free for now Apps. Or, if there is any interesting Paid App, just add it to the alert list and when the App become free, it will trigger an alert and email too.

Got quite a number of touchybook story books.. all FOC..

btw.. Angry birds is free on android.. iOS need to pay.....

[/quote]so far, I've only paid for one when I first bought my iPhone, thereafter all my idevices at home download from installous.

In fact, I enjoy the full control of them most, being able to tweak the interface, commands, etc that help prolong the physical lifespan:)

iPhone will work also.. maybe you need to check whether the phone actually have a data plan.

As for iPad, if it is 3G model, most likely the SIM card comes with a data plan.. whereas for Phones some pple may not sign up data plan, hence it gives you the impression that it is not working when actually it is bcoz the subscriber didn't sign up for data. Google Map needs data to work.

really?? that's interesting.. never realised that..

You're using the 3G version or WiFi only version of iPad?

What App are you using? Is it Google Map? But Google Map requires Data to work.. So, if the iPad is not on 3G data or WiFi.. I'm really surprised if Google Map can work.

Please share more details...... I wanna try it out... :evil: :evil:

So far, I’ve tested Sygic & Papago apps in Malaysia on my iPhone, with 3G & data both turned off, it works all fine on the road. Maps are all stored locally. But these apps are payable…


I’ve yet to come across one that works the same and free.

I just tried on the iPad. Turn off wifi totally cannot load any map, expect for the last position.


I suspect micolih is actually using 3G model, and the roaming maybe not turned off. Prob you need to check your bills… Or maybe I missed out something.
