After the introduction of the new 4th generation iPad with Retina display, the current 3rd gen “new iPad” has been discontinued for good. It is no longer listed on the online Apple Store and the older iPad 2 still remains the entry level model priced at RM1,199 for 16GB WiFi. If you are still interested to get your hands on the 3rd gen iPad with retina display, Machines is still selling them with a reduced pricing from as low as RM1,379 for the 16GB WiFi version. Basically they have cut RM120 across all models including the WiFi + Cellular model

Only Celcom and Maxis are offering the Apple new iPad device together with data plans which DiGi only offer new iPad data plans. Today I’ll only focus on the device with data plans comparison and data only plans will be the next post. Celcom has 2 data plans which Maxis has 3 data plans, so I’ll pick only 2 from Maxis which close to those 2 Celcom data plans. While Celcom has both 12 and 24 months contract but Maxis only 24 months contract, so I’ll take only 24 months contract in to compare.

Before the clock strikes 12, the new iPad is now ready for online orders at the Apple Store. As expected, there’s no change of pricing compared to the previous iPad 2 with the 16GB WiFi version going for RM1,499. For the 4G + WiFi version, although the 4G band is not supported in Malaysia, it still supports the usual 3G networks here with micro-SIM. The extra difference is the support for HSPA+ with download speeds up to 42Mbps which is currently supported by U Mobile. Of course, availability of higher speeds depend on actual coverage with HSPA+. If you don’t want to spend on the latest, you still can order the iPad 2 which is priced at RM1,199 for the 16GB WiFi or RM1,599 for the 16GB 3G version. 32GB and 64GB models are no longer available online. To order the new iPad at the comfort of your home, head over to the Apple Store.

iPad 3 Coming to Malaysia this Friday, April 20. And Other 11 Countries Too. To recap, the new iPad is packed with a Retina Display, an A5X processor and quad-core graphics chip. It offers a high speed 4G LTE network connection, 10 hours of battery life and features  a new 5-megapixel iSight camera. In addition to Malaysia, the new iPad also will be launch concurrently in 11 more countries. The countries are South Korea, Brunei, Croatia, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, St Maarten, Uruguay and Venezuela. Meanwhile, beginning on Friday, April 27, the new iPad will be available in Colombia, Estonia, India, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, South Africa and Thailand. Apple Malaysia hasn’t revealed any details regarding the pricing for the new iPad. But we expect the pricing of the third generation Apple tablet to be the same as the iPad 2 when it was first launched last year. We’ve revealed the pricing in our previous post, but i...

This is it. If you’re anticipating for the high resolution new iPad, your wait is finally over as Apple has announced 20th April 2012 as the official availability for Malaysia and other 11 countries including South Korea and Brunei. Our neighbouring Thailand will be getting theirs the following Friday on 27th April. Pricing wise we don’t expect deviation from the current RM1,499 starting price for the 16GB WiFi version. As for the 4G + WiFi version, although it isn’t fully supported in Malaysia, we believe it will still make an entrance considering it supports 3G and HSPA+ speeds up to 42Mbps. The new iPad isn’t a huge leap forward compared to the previous version apart from the high resolution screen, faster processor and improved 5MP camera. The new version is slightly thicker and heavier but it shouldn’t be that noticeable. If being the latest isn’t a priority, you can snap the iPad 2 from the Apple Online Store from just RM1,199 while stocks last. So anyone going t...

One of the biggest gripes that people had with the iPad 2 was its poor excuse for a camera. At the front, the iPad 2 spotted a 0.3MP VGA camera and at the back you get an equally pathetic 0.7MP shooter that was capable of shooting grainy 720p videos. With the new iPad apple upgraded the camera. Now called the iSight camera, the new iPad has a rear shooter with 5MP and a backlit sensor. Complementing the sensor is the same 5 element lens array used in the iPhone 4S with a fairly large f/2.4 aperture and a built-in hynrid infrared filter. In addition, you also get a face detection system that can detect up to 10 faces simultaneously and of course 1080p video. So naturally you can expect the new iPad to be able to take much better pictures and videos than the iPad 2. But how good is the camera on the new iPad? Well head on over to after the jump to check out the official samples released by Apple. These are official samples so Apple would have chosen the absolutely best pi...

With a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels the Retina Display on the new iPad packs four times more pixels than the iPad 2. Not only that, with a total pixel count of 3.1 million pixels, the new iPad’s Retina Display has one million extra pixels than a 1080p HDTV (1920 x 1080). When viewed at a distance of 10-inches — Apple considers this as the normal viewing distance – the individual pixels are indistinguishable from one another and by that definition the display on the new iPad is able to carry the Retina Display moniker. We have a problem with Apple’s definition but we’ll save that argument for a later date. In this post we’ll just share with you a side-by-side comparison of the iPad 2’s standard 1024 x 768 pixels uploaded by AnandTech. Take a look at the icon comparison after the jump. Immediately you can see that the bump in pixels makes a world of a difference and that’s going to pull a lot of “oohs” and “aahs”. Still pictures can only show you so much, to really see...

New iPad and other tablets compared. When the new iPad was revealed, Samsung had thrown pot shots by having a comparison of their own. Obviously it wasn’t that fair as it left out other aspects of the hardware. To find out which is better on paper, we have laid down the details on a comparison table above. In terms of display, the new iPad is much superior with its higher 2048×1536 resolution that gives a density of 264ppi. While it is no way near its iPhone 4 Retina display density, it trumps even the latest crop of HD Android tablets of 224-226 ppi. The processor of the new iPad 2 is still running dual-core but comes with an improved quad core GPU and double the amount of RAM compared to the outgoing model. While the new iPad is thicker by 0.6mm, the battery capacity is tremendously increased to 42.5 Wh which is nearly double of the iPad 2′s 25 Wh. That’s approximately 11,666mAh which is heaps more than most tablets in the market right now. Having to support 4G LTE, ba...

We’re just hours away from one of the biggest announcements Apple will make this year. Riding on a tsunami of rumours and speculations, the new iPad will make its global debut in San Francisco at 10AM PST on Wednesday, March 7 or 2AM on Thursday, March 8, our time. We’ll be up to catch the latest and you’re up for it here are the live blogs we recommend you follow. The Verge Engadget Gizmodo Gdgt Ars technical Focus will certainly be on the new features and innovations that the new iPad will bring. Punters are definitely not short on ideas on what to speculate. Some of the more prominent ones include: The name: Reports claim that the new iPad will not be called the “iPad 3” as largely thought but rather will be called the “iPad HD” due to the high-res display. Our prediction: Apple is going to stick with the numerical moniker for the new iPad. Adding “HD” into the name goes against Apple’s overly simplistic approach towards everything and it also suggests a diffe...

Based on some code found in the latest developer release of Apple's iOS, it looks like the next update will be available on or around March 9. The new version of iOS also times up nicely with the rumored due date for the iPad 3, leaving us wondering if Apple will time it so the update and tablet launch at the same time. The update will be iOS version 5.1, which has been in the works for months now. We've been expecting its release to come earlier, but by now it looks like Apple is hanging on for the iPad 3. That March 9 date comes from code discovered by Your Daily Mac in a section that carriers in Japan, France, and a few other countries need to use in order to make sure the iPhone runs properly on their networks.

Bloomberg says the next iPad (iPad 3) will sport a HD display, a faster processor, run on LTE and go on sale this March citing “three people familiar with the product”. The sources also claim that Apple’s manufacturing partners in China have started ramping up production of the new iPad this month to meet what Apple expects is a huge demand the new tablet and also to make up for the massive Lunar New Year exodus where factories in the country will halt production. Mass production for the new iPad started this month with factories running 24 hours a day, one of the Bloomberg sources said. Bloomberg requested for comment from Apple on the matter but a spokeswoman said the company doesn’t comment on rumor and speculation. The new iPad is expected to feature a high resolution display with pixels so small and packed in so tightly that it makes images appear like printed material. According to information found in the iOS 5 SDK, the new display could have a resolution of up ...
