June/July for us.

Wish it would accept sim cards

I get free mobile internet on that bad boy

Intl June/July. So its going to be a while I think.

Yikes... contract!

No, no contract!

Wonder what the UK prices will be, rolling monthly deals but the most important thing is the bottom line cost of the device.

Interesting, all unlocked so you can pick your own network.

Ion netbook tablet pls.

CULV based running OSX with resistive/capacitive touch screen like Wacom tablets would have been awesome.

If Dell can do a 9.9mm thick laptop with keyboard I don't see why it couldn't have been a real tablet for use with their core user base - graphic designers, photographers etc.

That will translate to £30 a month on O2 I bet.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:16

$29.99 for unlimited,
$14,99 for 250mb

And O2 say!?

Here's a thought - with Bluetooth you could conceivably tether it to your iPhone?

Probably but your iPhone battery will die in about 1hour :/

Which means no subsidy...

GDGT: “This is a real benefit. Now, I’d like to talk about wireless networking. Every iPad has the latest and greatest WiFi. But we’re going to have models with 3G built in as well.”

J1234 · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:16

3G with AT&T so it's likely to be US only at release and we'll get it in a few hundred years on some crappy network.

Yep. They just mentioned June/July timeframe for countries outside US. Suggesting a simlock.

edit:

okay no simlock.

Buckster · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:16

I'm just worried about price no - if no contract ....

Marky · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:17

June/July in running with the next iPhone update!

To some models...

Westyfield2 · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:18

$999?

robbiemc · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:18

Agressive pricing....

Kreeeee · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:18

Good price!!!

$499

64GB with 3G is a massive rip-off though.

J1234 · 27 Jan 2010 at 19:18

"All of this for just $2499.99 plus $14.99 a month on a 3 year contract".

Well he's said for US that it's no contract and that all devices will be supplied unlocked.

Wonder what the "Oh, just one more thing" will be (if there is one).

Here comes the price.

/edit - Crap, that's cheaper than expected.
