“We can’t wait to showcase the amazing features of iPad Wi-Fi + 3G in our stores across the country just in time for the holidays,” said Glenn Lurie, AT&T President of Emerging Devices, Resale and Partnerships, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. “With our breakthrough iPad data plans starting at just $14.99 and access to AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots around the country at no extra cost, our customers will have the best of both worlds.”
“We look forward to expanding the reach of iPad, allowing even more customers to experience the magic of iPad for themselves,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s COO. “As we approach the holiday season, we are very happy that customers will now be able to buy iPad Wi-Fi + 3G at AT&T Stores.”
iPad allows users to connect with their apps and content in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before. Users can browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch HD videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and much more, all using iPad’s revolutionary Multi-Touch™ user interface. iPad Wi-Fi + 3G models are just 0.5 inches thick and weigh just 1.6 pounds — thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook — and deliver up to 10 hours of battery life for surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching videos or listening to music, and up to nine hours of surfing the web using a 3G data network.**
Apple’s App Store℠ offers iPad users access to the world’s largest catalog of apps with over 280,000 apps, and more than 30,000 iPad specific apps in 20 categories including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel.

This with verizon and wallmart and target and bestbuy increases retail outlets to 9300 not including apple stores. At 30 a day multiplied by 45 days of holiday selling gives over 13 million in sales. Add applestores you have 17 million in sales. Ubiquity, finally apple is ready to rumble. Ubiquity of competitor nearly killed them. Now MSFT will taste the bitterness of being on the wrong side this time around.

I think I’m going to wait till March or April. I figure a new IPad 2 gen will be out by then and there will a glut of used Ipads will be available for $175 for the 8 gig no wifi model up to -$400 for the 3G higher end version. It’s really OK to be one or two generations behind on this stuff. Much less expensive……

The iPad is Apple’s stealth nuclear option and the PC makers don’t even realize it yet. The fact that the Mac keeps having one record quarter after another should have PC makers worried. The astonishing fact that the iPad will start outselling the Mac in less than a year should have them terrified.
The iPad is what the Mac should have been.

grognard – if you can find an 8GB iPad, it will not be cheap as it will be a collector’s item.

I just sold my iPod Touch on amazon, and upgraded by buying the new iPod Touch with facetime – arriving today by UPS.
When the new iPad comes (with facetime/retina, next year?) I will do the same thing.
OK, so I lose a small amount of money. In the meantime, it’s all about quality of life.

Uh oh ATT – the thrill is gone – officially. 🙁
Apple stated in regards to working with Verizon, “We’re thrilled to be working with Verizon Wireless to get iPad into the hands of even more customers this holiday season,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s COO, in the press release.”
I read, re-read, and then re-read this ATT article again, and no where does it say that Apple is “thrilled”. I honestly cannot remember Apple doing anything where they weren’t “Thrilled”.
ATT to Apple – You Lost That Loving Feeling
Peace.
