    Re: Apple Ipad - Coming to a theatre near you!

    what I need before I will buy this thing:

    1. dock connector also on the side so you can dock in landscape onto the keyboard
    2. has a proper and accessible file system so I can use it to store documents and access external storage
    3. MS Office ported onto this thing

    ^^ I will answer all.

    Comes with USB. But I can't seem to locate it from the gallery.
    Found this: Dock Connector to USB Cable, I supposed this is the one.

    ================================================
    Edited by BW:
    USB ports confirmed not presence.

    USB connections is made via adaptors.

    US Version is unlocked meaning SG can use. BUTTTTT.....for microSIM. I think Singtel still testing it. Other Telcos don't support MicroSIM yet.

    Choy, left hand side of specs.

    this is the USB to 30-pin connector. it's meant for you to sync and charge from a mac/PC, just like the iPhone. as far as I can see no where it says there is a USB port on the iPad.

    Way down at the bottom of the specs. You see those accessories. The camera also USB. Non-MAC users will have losta question marks.

    iPad Dock

    The iPad Dock lets you dock and charge iPad. The rear 30-pin connector lets you connect the iPad Dock to an electrical outlet using the USB Power Adapter, sync to your computer, and use accessories like the Camera Connection Kit. An audio jack lets you connect to a stereo or powered speakers.

    iPad Camera Connection Kit

    The Camera Connection Kit gives you two ways to import photos and videos from a digital camera. The Camera Connector lets you import your photos and videos to iPad using the camera’s USB cable. Or you can use the SD Card Reader to import photos and videos directly from the camera’s SD card.

    iPad 10W USB Power Adapter

    The 10W USB Power Adapter lets you charge your iPad directly through an electrical outlet. And the 6-foot-long power cable allows you to charge it from an even greater distance.

    Wah...hard to spot this one. Very small.

    What I understand this to mean is: the 2/3-pin power plug has a USB port which you can use your standard USB to 30-pin cable to charge (USB side to power plug, 30-pin side to iPad).

    the iPhone comes with such an adaptor too.

    No it has NO USB. That is one downside. The usb port is only for Charging and syncing. Can't be used as a USB port.

    exactly, until apple officially supports a way to access external storage, and for external access to internal storage, I don't see things like iWorks to be very useable.

    in fact now I use dropbox to simplify the accessibility of some documents on the iPhone to an external device.

    Re: Apple Ipad - Coming to a theatre near you!

    What about the small white thingy that? Any idea what it is used for?




    How about this thingy? I think can use SD card here.



    Accessories

    There are lots of great accessories specifically designed for iPad. The Keyboard Dock, for instance, combines a dock with a full-size keyboard. There’s also a standalone Dock. And because iPad has built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, it works with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, too. The Camera Connection Kit lets you import photos from a camera or SD card. The iPad Case not only protects your iPad, it also allows you to use it in various positions, making it easier to type, look at photos, or watch movies. And through a range of accessories, iPad can play your content on TVs, projectors, and displays.

    Re: Apple Ipad - Coming to a theatre near you!

    the card reader simply allows the iPad to read the card, you still cannot access it as a file system.

    and as I was saying, the keyboard dock can only support docking in portrait. much better if they make it as a cradle and the docking connector to be on a flexible cable so that you can turn the pad sideways.

    Re: Apple Ipad - Coming to a theatre near you!

    ^^ I still like my vaios z. xp, usb...easier to work with. I getting headaches just going through the ipad.

    The support with Apple is definitely good even if you are out of warranty. But a non-changeable battery also have its own draw back. Apple is still not reading that from consumer too.

    Re: Apple Ipad - Coming to a theatre near you!

    the reason the battery is not changeable is that they can cram the max amount of electrolyte into the space without sacrificing it to multi layers of casing, connectors, bracing, etc. frankly 10 hours of LCD operation in such a slim body is quite amazing.

    Choy, I think the battery have some challenges there. Wait till you pump techno music for 2hrs and see how much life it left...heh heh.

    Re: Apple Ipad - Coming to a theatre near you!

    BTW my stated requires must be apple supported ones. iPhones can be jailbroken to do similar things (access internal storage) but that's not the point.
