I was debating between committing to an iPhone4 or an iPad. After much survey (of 5 people) I decided that the iPad is a wiser purchase. Note that I didn't use the word investment.....
So I went to a telco shop, waiting patiently in the queue. When it was my turn, I told the service person that I wanted to buy an iPad. The guy gave me an incredulous look and asked me to repeat myself. I said I wanted to buy an iPad. Then he said, we don't carry the iPad at tel cos. You have to buy one at a shop that sells Apple products. I was quite embarrassed, but bravely asked about the data plans.
At the end, I bought a micro Sim card under a multi Sim plan, and left the shop in a hurry......
Today I stepped into Challenger and bought myself an iPad. Then I went to my mother-in-law's and wanted to show it off. I switched on the machine and saw the iTunes icon with a picture of the USB cable. Oops.....I didn't know what to do. After some checking, I learnt I had to register my product. Damn!
Reached home and finally connected my iPad to iTunes and got everything registered, synced and what have you. And my iPad is now in the hands of my kids who are playing plants vs zombies.....
I hope I do get some use of out it, since I indicated that I bought the iPad for reading. Should have marked Games instead.
