Not sure about battery as i have just got it now. But i checked the serial number on Apple's website and as per that the warranty is there till March 2013.
 
My dad wants to buy an Ipad soon.. Is it worth to buy here or abroad? especially now that the US dollar vs indian rupee has gone up(54rs)?
 
When my dad got to know that i got an iPad and sold my HP touchpad, he was more sort of convinced about my tablet choice as he believed that apple was better. I now see how apple has penetrated the minds of people who have very less know-how of technological world. It is like iPad has become synonymous to tablet (like xerox to photo copy). My dad has very limited or almost negligible information of tech companies and what is good and what not but he knew things about apple (a bit) and that was enough for him to be convinced that i bought a better tablet.
I myself feel so much comfortable using iPad over the Touchpad, simply because of the layman approach to the UI and functionality. Things are so very useful and no-nonsense.
 
I heard, we can't do multitasking while downloading something? (If I open another application while download is going on it will stop the download) Can anyone confirm about it? I just want to make sure, I am getting the right thing before I actually purchase it ;)

I am guessing it will stop. Because yesterday i was using my iPhone to upload few pics to dropbox and after the upload started, i clicked the home button to do something else, completely forgetting that i had started the upload. When i later checked in evening in my dropbox and did not see the pics, i went to drop box app again and saw that upload was sort of paused and it immediately restarted after i opened the app. So i guess the app is sort of frozen in background.

Depends. If an app is being downloaded from the app store, you can run other apps simultaneously. You can't really download files normally via the browser (mp3s etc.) so the question doesn't arise.
 
My iPad is on iOS 5.1.1. Want to know whether there is any jailbreak available for me or nothing yet ?
Also is it ok with the iPad remains on entire day with most of the time the cover being closed so the screen remains off majority of time.
 
Am using it like that with the magic cover and no issues till now. The screen does go off when I close the cover though.

Right, since they dont want full multitasking, they altogether restricted downloading via browser..:P

As of now, no jailbreak.
But you can get it at the end of this week as pod2g mentioned and it'll be demoed probably at the hitb conference.
As for the screen, cant get your point.
Screen goes off as soon it close because of the magnetic contact.

I meant...usage will be like.....Turn on iPad in morning, use something, just put the cover so the screen automatically goes off, next time i want to use, just lift the cover and screen comes on automatically and use and repeat like that in entire day with the iPad 2 actually being turned completely off only at night time.

In short, it is ok for the iPad to be turned on the entire day with it being completely shut off only at night ?
I guess yes.

Sir, if yours jailbreaked, there's a new tweak which run apps side by side by windows.
True multitasking..
