Got £500 To Spare?
Ever since the release of the iPod, all new offerings from Apple are awaited with baited breath – and this was no different when they announced the Apple iPad a while back. It was with great fanfare and to an eager audience that Steve Jobs revealed the next big thing from the Apple stable.
Pricing of the iPad wasn’t mentioned at the time but, if reports are to be believed, a recent slip up by a number of leading websites may just have given the game away! Electricpig shouted a purported price leak from the rooftops after a search on the website Play.com revealed that the 16GB version of the iPad would be priced at £499 with the larger 64GB version setting consumers back a cool £699.
Personally, I’m not sure I’d be too keen on shelling out that much on what essentially looks like a giant iPod Touch – but I am in no doubt that there will be millions of consumers that beg to differ! In most cases, a product will merely need to have the Apple logo located somewhere upon it in order to be successful and it would be a foolish man (me?) to suggest that the iPad will be anything other than a resounding success.
