The New iPad Comes to AT&T on March 16th

Yep, starting Friday you can stop over at AT&T and get your new iPad. The PR doesn’t mention a price, but the Apple site lists it starting as $629.99 for the 16gb wi-fi plus 4G. If you visit the AT&T page for the iPad you’ll notice they’re still selling the iPad 2 starting at $529.99 and that’s for wi-fi plus 3G. I’m curious as to how AT&T is offering it on Friday but Apple says you won’t be getting it for 2-3 weeks on their site?!

AT&T today announced it will offer the new iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G in the United States on Friday, March 16. AT&T will offer all models of iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G with a range of attractive data plans that will allow customers to connect to the AT&T 4G LTE network with speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G.

The third generation iPad is a category-defining mobile device that features a stunning new Retina display, Apple’s new A5X chip with quad-core graphics and a 5 megapixel iSight camera with advanced optics for capturing amazing photos and 1080p HD video. It also still delivers the same all-day 10 hour battery life while remaining amazingly thin and light. iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G is world-ready, allowing users to connect to fast networks worldwide when they travel.
