Carphone, one of the UK's largest resellers of exhausted stock for certain iPad models. More precisely, the iPad 3G is unavailable regardless of the model and the Wi-Fi Only model is unavailable in the 64GB version and Carphone has not listed any possible date for the completion of the existing stock. Orange and T-Mobile, from Great Britain, decided to reduction iPad tablet prices for existing customers and not only. The tablet was available until recently at prices starting from £199/£229, but the operators have decided to reduce these prices by £100, and this is more than likely not generous considering that the iPad tablet is still selling like hot cakes. The unavailability at Carphone and the price reduction applied by the operators indicate that the iPad 2 could be presented soon and launched sometime next month.
Orange is now selling the iPad for £99 on its 24-month contracts and T-Mobile is offering the same to existing customers. Previously, Orange was offering the iPad WiFi + 3G at £199.99 upfront on a £25 per month contract to existing customers and at £229.99 for new customers on a £27 per month contract – so the new pricing offers a saving of at least £ 100 on each. T-Mobile, meanwhile, is only offering the discount to existing customers on a 24-month £25 tariff.
More than a year has passed since the presentation of the first model of the iPad tablet and it is very unusual for Apple to delay the presentation of such an important product for so long. Some say that the health of Steve Jobs would be the reason for the delay, I would say that Apple waited to see which tablets the competition will launch before presenting its own, but in the end iPad 2 is still a mystery to many. In any case, if you live/have access to the UK, you can buy an iPad very cheaply.
