Apple iPad Price In Malaysia

The highly anticipated electronic device – iPad has just been announced by Steve Jobs in Apple Media Event. Everyone has been talking about how good the device was before it released & I am now here to reveal it for ya' all.

Features :
* Processor: 1GHz Apple A4
* Operating System: iPhone OS 3.2
* Storage: 16GB, 32GB or 64GB flash drive
* Size: 9.56 (H) x 7.47 (W) x 0.5 (D) inch
* Weight: 1.5 pounds (680 gram) for iPad WiFi, 1.6 pounds (730 gram) for iPad 3G
* Display: 1024×768 pixels
* Wireless connection: WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G (Additional payment needed)
* Battery: up to 10 hours of web surfing, video watching, music playback
* Input/Output: Dock connector, 3.5mm headphone jack, build-in speaker, microphone, SIM tray (iPad 3G only)

Homepage looks slick with iPhone app launcher but with Mac OSX dock. Size of keyboard has been increased, we can see Jobs is typing on the keyboard using fingers instead thumbs.

Fear not if you own an iPhone but am afraid to pay for the same apps again on iPad, you can simply sync it & your iPad will get the same apps as those on your iPhone. All apps will be resized automatically to fit your screen.

Games are running smoothly & 'presumably HD' as described by Gizmodo as Need For Speed & NOVA were demonstrated during the event, but for me the games look just the same as on iPhone, so it's quite disappointing for a heavy gamer like me.

How About Apple iPad Price In Malaysia?

The iPad ships worldwide in 60 days, but only in Wi-Fi versions. The 3G version will be another 30 days after that. Here are the prices:

Without 3G:
• $499: 16GB (RM1714)
• $599: 32GB (RM2057)
• $699: 64GB (RM2400)
With 3G:
• $629: 16GB (RM2160)
• $729: 32GB (RM2500)
• $829: 64GB (RM2848)
Apple will ship all the iPads in 60 days—the end of March—to America, and just the Wi-Fi models internationally. It'll be another 30 days beyond that for 3G models to be available outside our shores; Apple says they're still working on carrier deals.

iBookstore & iBooks are nowhere to be seen, so it is not available to international users (At least for now). Of course, after all these rants about iPad you know I am still going to get myself one of them

Accessibility

iPad comes standard with accessibility features that help people with disabilities experience all that it has to offer.

Enlarge

Built-in accessibility.

iPad comes with a screen reader, support for playback of closed-captioned content, and other innovative universal access features — right out of the box. There's no additional software to buy or install. These features make iPad easier to use for people who have a vision impairment, are deaf or hard of hearing, or have a physical or learning disability.

VoiceOver

Like iPhone and iPod touch, iPad includes VoiceOver, the world's first gesture-based screen reader for the blind. Instead of memorizing keyboard commands or pressing tiny arrow keys, you simply touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then double-tap, drag, or flick to control iPad. VoiceOver speaks 21 languages and works with all of the applications built into iPad. Apple also enables software developers to create applications for iPad that work with VoiceOver.

Mono Audio

If your hearing is limited in one ear, tap a checkbox to route both right- and left-channel audio into both headphones, so you can hear both channels in either ear.

Zoom

Zoom on iPad lets you magnify the entire screen of any application. Zoom up to five times the normal size and move left, right, up, and down to view any portion of the screen close up. Zoom works everywhere, including the Home, Unlock, and Spotlight screens, and with every application, including those you purchase from the App Store.

Closed Captioning

Every iPad can display subtitles and closed captioning for the deaf and hard of hearing when playing movies and podcasts that support it. Movies and podcasts with closed captioning are available on the iTunes Store and can be downloaded directly to iPad or synced to iPad using iTunes.

White on Black

If you want higher contrast, iPad lets you change the display to white on black. Use the White on Black feature in any application, as well as the Home, Unlock, and Spotlight screens, and with Zoom and VoiceOver.

Triple-click Home

If you only use the VoiceOver, White on Black, or Zoom features occasionally, or simply want a fast way to turn them on and off, enable the Triple-click Home feature. Then triple-click the Home button to turn VoiceOver, Zoom, or White on Black on or off instantly. Can't decide which one to use? Set Triple-click Home to "ask" and it will display a list of your options so you can choose the right one when you need it.
