dealextreme and focalprice is almost similar type of websites and they do ship to India. But it might take a month for the item to arrive. Not really sure about working with the 3rd generation iPad.

Thats the main problem.A month is too more.
And 500-600 for the card wont be a big deal rather than wait so long.

Anyways i have order for microsim cutter and it has adapter i am having gut feeling that putting adapter in slot might work without tray.Lets see how they go.

I suggest not to try that because there is a good chance that adapter will get stuck in the slot and you won't be able to remove the adapter anymore. Better wait for a month after buying from DX or FP or may be take some expedited shipping option.
Or try ebay.in.
Ebay.com who ship worldwide will also take similar time as DX or FP so no point going that route.

can anyone find any free video player app with "a3c" audio codec support...? i tried many like cineX, PlayerX(paid), Oplayer HD lite, Play able, Rockplayer2...etc

None have the support for "a3c" as of now, due to some patent issue...

First what's your iOS firmware version.
Secondly, jailbreakin'g is like opening the gates to the other world possibilities. Sorta like installing tweaks, mods, themes and apps.
 
Something to show off.
370+ apps with 5+ gb of manga and 2gb of books.

download absinthe and follow the instruction.
its better not to explain in words but watching a video tutorial on Youtube is easier to understand. Try searching "absinthe 5.1.1 Jailbreak"
 
absinthe is probably the easiest way to jailbreak. No putting the phone / iPad in DFU mode and all such things. I always fear putting my phone in recovery mode instead of DFU even when i follow the instructions to the T.

ok, will do some reading on this...thought its something like installing a custom rom(as in android)....
Click to expand...

No. In android when you install custom ROM you change the entire OS but here you just jailbreak (equivalent of rooting in android). After you jailbreak your device will have a new icon of CYDIA which is an alternate app store type where individual developers provided jalbreak apps / tweaks that might be useful to you and might give your phone additional functionality. Like a tweak called NCSettings will give you quick toggles for Wifi, 3G, EDGE, bluetooth, shut down phone etc, something which apple does not provide.

But remember one thing. If you iPad is in warranty then jailbreaking voids your warranty so in case something happens to your iPad in future (not because of jailbreak, it can be any reason), you will need to remove the jailbreak and then submit the iPad for warranty claim.
Also if your device is jailbroken NEVER EVER do the "Erase all content and settings", it will mess up your iPad big time and only method to recover will be to restore.
 
Suggestion needed.

Should i buy cheap stylus from DX?

Also is it worth getting the 30 pin to hdmi dock or 30 pin to vga dock.Planing the ipad to connect to projecter or desktop in some extreme conditions.

Also suggest some 3rd party application to transfer content in and out of ipad.Itunes simply doesn't satisfy me.

I have JB'ed my Ipad Original with absinthe 2.0.4 and added hackulo.us repo...

1. Now which app is better for playing any video format(including A3C audio codec), VLC or Buzz or any other(with subs)....?

2. What are the best repo's that i need to add..think some are added by default....(but finding things on them is confusing) .

3. What are the must have tweaks (free) for the Ipad which i shoud install from cydia....like NC Settings....?

Brought capdase stylus. Very elegant and works perfectly but it's precise is low with screenguard(mine with glossy). So removed the screenguard and it's works flawlessly. Brought for one grand.
Better get the hdmi for future proof.
As for the transferring contents, try ifunbox. Free and has everything a jb'ed user need. Form transferring installous contents to cydia deb files.

1. avplayer hd. That's the only app I use and it plays whatever i threw at it
2. To answer this question, what do you need from the cydia. There's some 5 to 6 repos which post cracked cydia apps on it. It all depended on you.
3. Sbsetting, backgrounder, batteryshower, bytafont, cleanstatus, cydelete, f.lux, foldericon, icleaner, killbackground, mxtube, multiconmover, randomflip, springflash, swipeslection. Remember this list some free apps but if you start preferring for paid apps that will take you to next level. For example my lock screen has two tweak such as locklauncher and locksliderz.
