iPad coming to Singapore

Mark Tan — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:12:27 +0000

Apple iPad (without 3G version) is launching in Singapore late next month at a price tag of S$699.

Looking at the price tag, not only the eReader market will be affected, the mobile netbook market will lightly be affected too. Personally, comparing both Apple iPad and X brands of netbook, I definitely will go for Apple iPad. It is a Apple thing.

Anyway, for iPad, unlike iTouch, I will wait for Apple to launch its 2nd gen release before owning it.

Following Apple marketing trend of their products, the 2nd Gen will usually be much better, less buggy and high processing power, probably at an even cheaper price tag.

Well, let’s wait and see.
