QUOTE(little ice @ May 10 2010, 10:29 PM) cause iphone also not locked, i don't think ipad will be locked.  that's just my estimation based on the ipad/iphone range...it kinda make sense to compare to ipod because ipad is basically a giant ipod touch.   QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ May 10 2010, 10:34 PM) nothing wrong with comparing with ipod touch hehe. 2k for 16gb wifi ipad sounds about right. (1599/399)*499 = 1999 if u simply wanna count it that way lah allow me to requote my previous speculation.. QUOTE(rEktOr @ May 6 2010, 03:20 PM) i think, taking into factors the current ringgit, the price will be lower. just look at the price of new macbook, it follows the conversion with a little hike. if u use macbook pro price as reference as it is the latest release among apple product line in malaysia, ksc calculation is using the ~3.2 current rate but the 1199 was the price when our ringgit is at ~3.8 rate. I usually compare the latest gadget price between us apple store and malaysia apple store to anticipate the launch price. Plus, the 16gb wifi ipad should be lower than macmini entry price as it's priced lower in US. so if in malaysia they sell cheapest mac mini for RM2199, what will be the price of lowest iPad which is USD100 cheaper? so based on my point, i would speculate that the price range should be between 1.6k - 1.8k for the 16GB wifi (3899/1199)*499 = 1622 simple math + current trending |

It is meaningless to have a debate on the price. Just my 2 centsif u use macbook pro price as reference as it is the latest release among apple product line in malaysia, (3899/1199)*499 = 1622 simple math + current trending |

When it comes to gadget, impulse play a lot on affecting purchase. Speculating prices may not help those who already decide to wait but for those who are weighing whether to get earlier at expense of overpaying, it matters. After all, 1 to 2 months does affect ppl who buy on impulse, thats the amount of time they jump on a new gadget |

I think we can get ipad 3G with a much cheaper price from Maxis. They might sell them with 2 years contract like the 3GS but without simlock.
I think only ipad wifi will be selling at apple dealer stores only. |

Posting this from MacMall in Torrance.
5 iPads secured, all WiFi models. Will elaborate on the details later. Still no stock on 3G models, the iPad Camera Connection Kit or the Apple iPad Case. Those who I have your iPads with me, you will receive PM/tweet from me later. Gotta go. |

Sorry I don't have as much luck as you, not sure about the 3G myself. Will keep you informed. The sacrifices I make for all this.... Your NY run is my only hope now. Otherwise, it'll be the end of the month when I try my luck in Perth. Sitting infront of the Apple Store now, I die a little bit everytime I see someone walking out of the Store with a white Apple bag with an iPad box silhouette inside.  The 3G look kinda unsightly with that black strip on top. After trying it in the Store, it nay develop some play and loosen in time. |

How much does an iPad generally cost in lowyat? Specifically the 32gb wifi. Been planning to buy one, and surveying for the price etc.

Well I heard the price for a 32gb wifi is around RM2450 at lowyat. Is it true?
And yea, I'm kinda a bit cautious in buying stuff from lowyat, got ripped off in buying my blackberry bold there. This post has been edited by echothreealpha: May 11 2010, 02:39 PM |
