Three months ago, PayPal Singapore made a clever video about my SwitchEasy CoverBuddy for iPad 2 purchase. It was a huge effort, with a different video for each of 20 bloggers, so kudos to the team. Now, the TuneWear Eggshell.
The Promise is an awesome, creative marketing campaign by PayPal, remarkably personalised and targeted at individual bloggers. It follows four ordinary Singaporean boys, Eugene, Nicholas, Erik, and Josh, who've banded together to raise awareness of issues close to their hearts.
I was searching for a case to protect the back of my iPad 2 that also works with Apple's Smart Cover. A MacRumors thread, 'Smart Cover Compatible Cases List', proved handy, and I settled on the SwitchEasy CoverBuddy.
SingTel begins selling the iPad 2 on Saturday, 14th May 2011, with subsidised units offered under two services: Mobile Broadband and Mobile Multi-SIM. The Mobile Broadband option pairs a 7.2Mbps plan with the 16GB 3G iPad 2 at S$40.
I got the Bluelounge Nest for S$19.90, or S$17.91 with member's price, from Challenger. It seems Challenger, or the agent, only brought in the black and white variants, as I couldn't find the other colours there, though EpiCentre had them.
Got my 32GB iPad 2 WiFi + 3G thanks to a friend who queued at VivoCity's Infinite store from 6am. Stocks were extremely limited, white especially; one person could buy only two units, just like the first launch.
Apple's iPad 2 lands in Singapore on Friday, 29th April 2011, priced slightly below the original. WiFi models start at S$668, rising to S$928 for 64GB, with 3G versions topping out at S$1,108 for the 64GB.
In today's press release announcing iPad 2 availability across 25 more countries this Friday, Apple confirmed Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore will get the second-generation tablet sometime in April 2011, a little after the initial wave of launches.
Apple announced iPad 2 at yesterday's event, which I was too tired to follow live and only caught this morning. Most rumours proved true: FaceTime, dual cameras, Photo Booth, a dual-core A5 chip, and a white option alongside black.
