Re: Buying iPad from US
It might also work like the Kindle, you may need to have an iTunes account based in the US, linked to a US credit card. So you may get an iPad but won't be able to buy any apps.

Life would be so much easier if we only had the source code. There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't. Microsoft: You've got questions. We've got dancing paperclips. The box said 'Required Windows XP or better'. So, I installed LINUX. I had a fortune cookie the other day and it said: 'Outlook not so good'.

Steve Jobs made it clear in his Keynote launching the iPad that it is NOT LOCKED to any carrier... ATT do have the bets data plan in the US and are apparently the only ones using MicroSIMs at this stage there. But more and more USB 3G wireless modems use the MicroSiMs and I believe all Australian carriers already have at least one, if not more, model of USB thumb drive sized modems that already use MicroSIMs here... so they should be able to supply you with the right sized SIM. -- Nicholas Pyers (nicho...@appleusers.org) Founder Publisher, AppleUsers.org http://www.appleusers.org/ -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
