After the successful launch of the Apple iPad early this month and with more than 300,000 units (WiFi-only model) sold on the first day alone, Apple will be releasing the iPad WiFi + 3G model later today. The WiFi + 3G models will cost an extra $130 over the WiFi-only models. The 16GB model will retail for $629, while the 32GB model is available at $729 and you can get the 64GB model for $829.
Aside from the $130 premium, customers who want to take advantage of the 3G capabilities of the WiFi + 3G model will have to pay for an AT&T data plan. Customers have two options, first is $14.99 for a 250MB data plan and $29.99 for an unlimited data plan. What’s good about these plans are they are contract-free, meaning you can close the account anytime you want. Btw, Apple has an order limit of only two units per customer.
Anyone of you guys planning of getting the Apple iPad WiFi + 3G model today?
The iPad is definitely taking Apple’s offerings to the next level. Personally I’ll wait for the second generation of iPads before considering buying one, but the temptation is still there to get this edition ;-)

I also excited for the WiFi model, that makes the 2 of us. But I do hope that the 2nd Gen. iPads will adress the current iPad limitations. :)
I hope that the WiFi model of the Apple iPad will be soon available here in the Philippines. I really want to have one!
