3G iPad Starts to Sell

Apple has finally released the Apple 3G iPad which is the more expensive and better equip version of the tablet. Regardless of the release, the iPad is not expected to be available in Malaysia anytime soon as shipment to worldwide destinations has been delayed for a few weeks due to the so called 'huge demand' from the US itself.

Regardless of that, many Apple fans are excited about the iPad, and many have also suggested that it is the best replacement for their laptops.  The unofficial price of the iPad for the Malaysian market at the moment stands RM2012. For more information on the iPad, do visit Apple's official website.

iPHONE PRE-ORDER WITH DIGI

DiGi has allowed interested iPhone users to pre-order the phone with them since yesterday. Interested iPhone users can fill out the form here, and decide whether they would want to collect the iPhone during it's official launch which will be held in Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur and Penang. All 3 types of iPhones are in the offering and customers whom have pre-ordered are assured of priority when the iPhone is released by DiGi at the road shows.

The sell of the iPhone by DiGi signals better options for telecommunication consumers whom had previously had to bow to Maxis shall they want to use the iPhone due to Maxis having the only right and monopoly over the sell of iPhones in Malaysia. Knowing DiGi's fantastic promotions on new products, it would be very interesting to see how low DiGi does plan to sell the iPhone to their customers.

DiGi which just recently launched it's 3G services in Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Ipoh, Penang and Kota Kinabalu boast of its faster 3G Turbo network against Celcom and Maxis 3G networks. They are also the only company offering 700kbps download speed for their broadband at the cheapest rate in Malaysia and users of the iPhone stand to benefit more due to this. Regardless of that, DiGi's main weakness in the telecommunication segment of Malaysia remains at it's least widespread coverage among the 3 other mobile telecommunication giants, namely Celcom and Maxis.
