Well the best laid plans etc

 

i purchased my beoplay A3 some months ago with the kind help of Thomas in Germany, it finally arrived here a couple of weeks ago and the next step is for the good lady to buy me an ipad 2 for Xmas

 

told her were to go to purchase said item and now they are no longer available in Thailand, even though they are on the display with the price tag etc, why they haven't removed them i don't know

 

i could look on ebay.u.k. but i think buying second hand from there might be a bit risky, does anyone know if they are still available where you are and what the price is

 

i only want the 16GB wi-fi, it's mostly for music and i don't really travel so i thought that would do

 

any ideas would be appreciated

cheers all, have found one only 16GB with 3G for the same price as the wi-fi version in the u.k. so bought that

 

having fun setting it up now, plugged into the A3 but not impressed with the sound only to find out i had to register it

 

damned impressed now

 

3G could come in handy next summer when i return to sel lmy house in Heswall, will get full use of it then, appreciate all the help

If you sign up with 3 you get unlimited 3g downloading, you don't pay extra for 4G, and it is free to roam in some EU countries, whilst the rest you pay a flat £5 per day for again unlimited data.

Hi Chris, thanks for the tip, have no idea what 3 is but will check it out if i get to the U.K. next year

3G only just arrived here due to the fact organized crime couldn't reach an agreement as to how they can divert some of the cash

 

everybody is  happy now

 

bye the way, is it not possible to turn off the ipad if you leave it in the A3 all the time, bit fiddly putting it in and out
