The Singtel iPad 2 Launch event was held at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) from 10am. It is the same area as iPhone 4 was launch<\/a>. The launch is quite a major event, consider that consumers already had a headstart with the purchase of iPad 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Singtel is the first Telco to deliver iPad 2 to the consumers with Data Plan. Previously, for iPad (version 1), there is only data plan but without the device itself. This time round, Singtel is providing quite attractive package<\/a> for the consumers.<\/p>\n

Here is where the queue starts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This time, I think Singtel has done a good job to keep the customers happy. First, the staggered appointment timing. Second, the air conditioned venue. Thirdly, a system is in place to ensure smooth flow of traffic and lastly, entertainment (live performance, hands on experience and accessories booth) for those who are waiting for their number.<\/p>\n

The first 5 in the queue<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first stop is the validation centre.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The validation process.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, they will proceed to main hall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some pics of the big hall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There areas for people to try on the iPad 2. It is interesting to see that older generation are getting the iPad 2.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also to buy accessories first.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I did a short video to show you how the place looks like.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Just before the actual event launch, managed to get a few pictures of Singtel executives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, our compere came out to warm the crowd.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Starting by asking questions on iPad 2.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Winners will get the limited edition Singtel iPad 2 t-shirt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the launch event starts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They are supposed to place their palm onto the iPad to initial an ID check, follow by the official launch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ID Check. Haha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Countdown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the launch! A showcase of Singtel Delite App.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For those who are interested to see how this app looks like, here is a short video.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

And here is how the magazine looks like on the iPad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Apart from Singtel Delite app, there are also 3 other apps, InSing, My Singtel, ILoveDeals (of course, there is AMPed).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I guess MySingtel will be useful for customers. You can check your accounts from your iPad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ok, back to the event. The counter started counting. People started walking towards the 60 counters.<\/p>\n

Checking her iPad 2<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And her smile after getting it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some are very serious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While others are asking waiting patiently at the counters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It seems like there is a promo for Singtel-OUB platinum card.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While the rest are waiting, there are live performance.<\/p>\n

I believe she is called iDeeJay<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She is using 2 iPads to control the music.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another performance – FunkeeMunkies Band<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is the first 5 in the queue. They had gotten their iPad 2s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course the star of this event, iPad 2 with its amazing Smart Cover.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think everybody should get this Smart Cover. Very sleek and functional. Watch this video.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n
