Joy SmartFit 3 Back Cover For New iPad – iPad Smart Cover is not enough for protection, it’s for the front only, so I need something to protect the back of the iPad as I scared it will get scratches easily. I didn’t want to hide the beautiful logo of Apple so I picked a transparent back cover for it, it’s Joy SmartFit 3 (S$49). There’s a Joy logo on it, if without, it will be perfect. It’s very thin, but one down side is it add a little bit weight on the iPad. Anyway, I’m liking it as a protection.

My New 32GB iPad Wifi + 4G – Oh yeah! I guess I am the first among my friend to own the New iPad. Haha. I am loving my New iPad right now, utilizing every bit of it and I think this is a perfect buy. Last weekend was the launch of the New iPad around the world, and our neigbouring country – Singapore is in one of the launching country too. My brother who is at Singapore bought 2 units, one for himself and one for me, then I went to Singapore to collect from him. He bought from Singtel (a telco in Singapore) shop in Singapore.

It’s a 32GB Wifi + 4G version. Although it’s stated 4G, it will not be usable in Asia as there’s no LTE in Malaysia yet, even though there is LTE in the future, the 4G is only supported for the LTE in the United States. Was thinking of getting the 16GB version but then I realised that 32GB will be an ideal choice because I might need the iPad to backup my photos when I’m on travel, and the app for iPad is kinda big in size.

In addition, I bought a Smart Cover (Leather Tan) with it as it was a special deal, selling at only S$68 purchase-with-purchase. Cheaper than original S$98.

So far, it’s doing very good to me, despite report about heating up and wifi problem, I find that that’s not really a problem to me. It’s not that hot, the wifi is good, the system is fast, screen is awesome but what I love the most is the 5-megapixel camera. =D

Some friend ask me about when it will be released in Malaysia, I expect April, first or 2nd week of April.

I am so excited now. Apple gives us a tag line of “We have something you really have to see. And touch.” Any idea what they are hinting? Retina display on iPad 3? What else. =D Set you alarm at 1am, 8th March 2012, Malaysia time to follow the keynote. Looking forward to Tim Cook’s first product launch too. Kinda miss Steve Jobs.

Video: Steve Jobs Life In Facebook Timeline – A Singaporean web and mobile developer has made a Facebook Timeline profile for the Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs which tells the story of Steve Jobs from the day he’s born to the day he passed away.

It’s a nice way to learn and read more about Steve Jobs, unfortunately, the profile has been taken down after a while of online at Facebook. Not many people has really seen the Facebook Timeline profile. No worry, you still can get a chance to take a look at it, but is through the screenshot video. Check the video out below.

Apple iPad 3 – Coming On March 7, 2012 – Hey guys! Mark your calendar! It’s the time of the year again, sadly there’s no Steve Jobs this year, he is resting in peace, but Tim Cook is cool too, but the coolest thing of all, the Apple iPad 3 will be releasing on 7th March 2012.

I am so excited for the Apple event where the new Apple iPad 3 will be introduced. I am using an old Apple iPad 1 and is currently looking for to upgrade to a better tablet. I was almost wanted to buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 but thank god Apple is going to release the iPad 3.

Rumors highlight of the Apple iPad 3 are:

• Support 4G LTE - Currently there’s no LTE in Malaysia, Maxis and Digi are working on it, so perhaps it’s a LTE + GSM version.
• Higher resolution display - A better high dpi Retina display for the iPad.
• Longer battery life - Apple iPad is praised for high battery life, but increasing of the battery life makes iPad stands out from others too.
• Better camera – I am looking forward to this too as using iPad to snap photo is very cool.
• A6 Quad Core – Some say is a better dual core, some say it’s quad core, nevertheless, A6 will be a powerful processor with a strong graphic output.
• Thicker – Don’t be surprised, it’s expected to be thicker than iPad 2 for only a mm which is not really noticeable.
• Smaller size - Another version of iPad with a smaller size might appear given that many 7″ tablets are doing great in the market.

What do you think? Mark you calendar, set a reminder and wait for the iPad 3. Are you ready?
