    So this is online only? You can't go buy one from a retail outlet?

  • brutus on 16/04/2011 - 09:09

    oh well, jumped on and bought one.

    I too was going to buy an Ipad2, but this does the same and more.

    Can't wait to play with it.

  • dampaee on 16/04/2011 - 09:30

    Decent deal,bought one last night.

  • andy19363 on 16/04/2011 - 09:31

    I've had a tablet for a number of years (an old HP one), which I use for taking handwritten notes, that kind of thing. It uses a stylus, and I 'write' on the screen. It's then saved as handwritten, or can be converted into type. Do these new tablets (particularly this one) have the same/similar feature?

    • mxyzptik on 16/04/2011 - 09:39

      I've sworn off handwriting recognition since I bought an Apple Newton (a dirty word at Apple I'm sure) pre-launch about 18(!) years ago - an unmitigated disaster.

      I've never tried it on my iPad, but there are programs available, and on the other tablets too - and I'm sure they are far better now.

      My guess as to why it is not native to the iPad is - the obvious one - that they couldn't get it to work well enough.

        yes…. I tend not to use the 'convert to type' ability….. presumably my writing is illegible (should've been a doctor perhaps). Can be quite amusing reading what it thinks I wrote…..
        However, I still like/use the 'handwritten' bit

      They use AAE prepaid satchels. On the east coast it usually means overnight, unless your in woop woop. The transit grid on their site: http://aae.com.au/applications/transit_grid#/search/
      From memory prepaid satchels are treated the same as express savers.

      Collect in stores are usually over-nighted. So it depends where you live or are getting it picked up.

    • atlas on 16/04/2011 - 14:25
      +1

      Collect in store says it would be available 2 business days later.

      I think delivery said to allow up to 5 days. I figure probably easier and just as fast to wait at home.

      • construct-more-pylo… on 16/04/2011 - 14:35

        Its max 5 days east coast (approx Sydney) to Woop Woop WA or the likes. If your order is in before 10-11am its usually dispatched the same day and usually arrives the next day if you live in the metro areas of the east coast. I think its a day or two for those in the west.
        Collect in stores are overnighted.

        Seeing that this started approximately 4pm Friday, most of you living on the east should get your orders by Tuesday morning, same for any collect in stores. Of course this is all dependant on stock available. I'd be expecting backorder emails soon :-S

          There is. Telstra uses 850/2100 or 850/1900/2100 (not sure which), Optus Voda 3 etc are 900/2100. They all use 2100 Mhz in major cities afaik but with this you would be without 3G in rural areas with Optus, and I have no plans to move to Telstra.

    What's the best mobile data plan to use with the Galaxy Tab?

    I'm thinking the Telstra $150 10gb 12-month pre-paid mobile internet plan?

    Alternatively recharge $60 on a pre-paid mobile long-life sim and just purchase a data pack everytime you decide you need 3G, on the assumption that you mostly use it at home on wi-fi?

    • t3chshopper on 16/04/2011 - 20:24

      I had figured on that same plan myself. Telstra network is the best match for this Tab anyway, and NextG seems to be the best network. Not that I personally use Telstra for my mobile or ISP, but that $150 plan may be the way to go.

      Alternatively, if you just want some casual Internet access on the go and are an existing TPG customer, their sim costs $1 a month and provides 150MB data per month before charging - http://www.tpg.com.au/mobile/plans.html. They use the Optus network.
