Orange offers cheap subsidized iPad

If you are a UK tablet computer geek that has been lusting after an iPad for Christmas this is your chance to get one on the cheap. Orange has announced a new low price for the iPad if you don't mind signing away 24 months of your wireless freedom.

The iPad at Orange is £199 with a 24-month contract for 3G data. That works out to about $310 here in the states, which is a big discount. If you are planning to get a data plan with your iPad anyway, this is a great deal.

Orange also reminds that its 3D data network covers 93% of the population and they will give your 2 for 1 movie tickets and pizza with Orange Wednesday. Discount pizza and movie tickets are chock full of win.
