, Mar 29th 2011 Discuss [13]

iPad 1 Price Drops at AT&T

, Mar 18th 2011 Discuss [17]

The iPad was already one of the most compelling tablets available.

The $529 price was being used for the 32GB model, but apparently AT&T doesn't mind losing a little off of their bottom line. The 16GB model is being offered for a $429. How long are these deals going to last? Not long, with the release of the successor, the supplies of the original are dwindling at best. If you were looking for an iPad with AT&T, now is the time to buy. Read The Full Story

So you're thinking of picking up the iPad 2 on the same network you've got your original iPad on, and you're bumming that you're unable to get that same unlimited data plan - turns out you CAN have that unlimited data plan, just so long as you already have it (and you're on AT&T, of course.)

In further evidence that an iPad 2 launch is imminent, Best Buy has deleted the first generation iPad from its inventory.
