There are many questions in people\u2019s minds.. so here are some answers:<\/p>\n

1. When will it be available?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It starts to ship End of March.<\/p>\n

2. What will be the price?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. $499 for a 16GB Wi-Fi model<\/li>\n
  2. $599 for a 32GB iPad <\/li>\n
  3. $699 for a 64GB model. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can add $130 to any model to get 3G wireless support.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Just as a matter of comparison, Kindle DX \u2013 which is non color and also not touch screen, is available for $489, while a nook<\/strong> in Barnes & Noble is available for $289.<\/p>\n

    3. Will you be locked with the service?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    There is no locking with any provider if you don\u2019t want to use it.<\/p>\n

    $15 a month for 250MB of data, or $30 a month for unlimited data. But the greatest thing \u2013 the service is pre-paid<\/strong>, no-contract rates<\/strong>, and service can be activated at any time right from the iPad itself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The 3G service, however, will be through AT&T from Apple. But that is a moot point, since it is shipped unlocked. Which means you can use the SIM (micro-SIM card) from any service provider and use it or ever take it overseas and use it with a provider in another country with a GSM service.<\/p>\n

    There will be free WiFi at all hotspots from AT&T.<\/p>\n

    4. Will it enable me to do Office work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Yes. A new version of iWork<\/strong> has been created for iPad. Now iWork<\/a> for the Mac comes for $79; the iWork apps can, however, be available for $10 each<\/em>. iWork consists of Keynote (presentation slides)<\/strong>, Numbers (spreadsheets)<\/strong>, and Pages (word processing)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The iWork will have compatibility with iPad \u2013 where the slides (KeyNote), graphics\/images and text (Pages), and Columns (Numbers) can be worked by the trademark tapping fingers and dragging stuff. In fact it comes along with a library of spreadsheets and templates.<\/p>\n

    IWork for iPad can also import documents from iWork \u201909 and Microsoft Office, while it can send out the documents in iWork\u201909 and PDF formats.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
