Steve Jobs announced the new iPad yesterday. The Apple iPad will be available in April/May 2010 worldwide and the iPad 3G (Wifi+3G) in the later part of 2010. For more information on the technical specs of the iPad, visit http://www.apple.com/ipad/
As for the iPad pricing, here it is…
iPad Price in Singapore
[Updated 25 July 2010]
**Prices in Singapore DollariPad Wi-Fi Wi-Fi+3G 16GB $728 $928 32GB $878 $1,078 64GB $1,028 $1,228 [Updated 28 Jul 2010]
You can buy iPad online at Apple Singapore online store.
iPad 3G Singapore
As for the iPad 3G, none of the local telcos support the micro-SIM, so I believe pricing and availability of the iPad 3G in Singapore will largely depend on Singtel, Starhub and M1.
Initial Reactions to iPad
Apple sold more than 75 millions iPod and iPhone worldwide. I guess many of them will also buy the iPad. I will. The iPad 64GB. And I already know how I am going to really use it.
When I first viewed Steve Job’s keynote announcing the iPad and discovered about the affordable iPad price, my reaction posted on Facebook was…
“iPad… Why only $499? I want it now!”
“if you have an iPhone, Life Will Not be Complete Without the iPad!”
However, I also discovered that not everyone loves Apple products. Some of my Facebook friends said:
“iPad, No Multitasking, No Buy”
“guess it is just like iPhone .. just BIGGER”
“The iPad (the name is soooo =_=|||) is disappointing. No SD card slot, no drag-drop, no USB port, no flash (!), no camera…a whole lot of new accessories to buy. Will wait for the Android-powered tablets, Asus is coming up with one soon.”
MrBrown thinks “Apple’s iPad is a giant iPod Touch“.
And people are already mocking at the iPad – the other kind of pad?!

A dock to USB cable is included to connect the iPad to a desktop/notebook USB port. Do you call that USB support?

No, I dun think EpiCentre will sell iPhone 4. Singtel, Starhub and M1 probably.
17 Jun 2010 @ 1:39 pm
Wassup says
No. Apple iPad is not available at Singapore’s Apple Store yet and there is no official prices in SGD yet. The S$1,600 you have mentioned is probably the street price of the parallel import units.

Please enlighten me: what’s the advantage of 3G over just wifi? Can one use it like a phone? or merely just for data-plan access?
Hmmm, what about those with mobile plan(with a usb dongle), will the wifi version be enough?
Thanks!
