Apple iPad to ship in the US on April
Apple has just announced that its wannabe 'magical and revolutionary' tablet, the iPad will reach US customers on April 3rd, less than a month after it goes up for pre-order (on March 12). The 1.27cm-thick iPad weights just 680 grams, has a 9.7-inch IPS touchscreen (with multi-touch support), 16, 32 or 64GB of flash storage, a 1GHz Apple A4 chip, built-in accelerometer, compass, 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 (and 3G on certain models), plus and a battery enabling up to 10 hours of operation.
"iPad is something completely new," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "We're excited for customers to get their hands on this magical and revolutionary product and connect with their apps and content in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before."
The re-confirmed iPad price scheme looks a little something like this:
- $499 - 16GB model with WiFi
- $599 - 32GB model with WiFi
- $699 - 64GB model with WiFi
- $629 - 16GB model with WiFi & 3G
- $729 - 32GB model with WiFi & 3G
- $829 - 64GB model with WiFi & 3G
Those who want the 3G-packing iPads will have to wait a little longer for the devices as they will ship later on in April.
