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.

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..

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.
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
if 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
