As a good number of us wait for the 3G models of the iPad, Apple has added a new line under “Battery and Power” at the iPad Spec page: “Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using 3G data network“. An hour less vs surfing via WiFi as stared by Apple. With everyone praising iPad’s excellent battery life, we wouldn’t be surprise if it can offer more than 9 hours on just browsing the net.
According to Apple PR, “Customers can pre-order online at apple.com at 5:30am Pacific time on Friday, March 12.” Or 8:30am Eastern time.
According to Berthold Thoma, CEO of Hutchison Austria, The carrier will be offering the iPad for folks in Austria. Purchasers willing to be bond to a 2-year data contract (29.90 Euro, 5GB/Month) will get a 333 Euro/$455 discount. Frankly we still don’t know international pricing for the iPad, so the final price after the discount is a mystery.
In addition, given that the initial shipment of iPads are Wi-Fi only, the carrier is throwing in the Huawei i-Mo 3G modem to the deal, a wireless wifi router.
