iPad

After announcing release of the iPad back in late January, Apple finally set a release for the device. Here is the scoop:

• 3G dataplan w/ATT starts at fifteen bucks for 250MB – the unlimited plan is thirty bucks.

Prep the checkbook folks…

A short note on the iPad UK release date and prices – it’s a rumored leak via Geeky Gadgets (link below), so take the news with a grain of salt:

iPad WiFi Model UK Price List (all prices in Pound sterling)
1. iPad 16GB WiFi Model will go for £389
2. iPad 32GB WiFi model will go for £439
3. iPad 64GB WiFi model will go for £489

No word on 3G pricing though – given the delayed release date of the 3G models this is not surprising.


The article has a short note on a bit delayed UK shipping date (April ‘10) as well: http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/apple-ipad-to-cost-389-in-the-uk-25-02-2010/
