iPad on sale in SA: all the details

The must-have gadget of the past year, Apple's iPad tablet computer, is finally going on sale in SA. Core Group, Apple's distributor, has confirmed the machine will be available from Friday, 28 January 2011, starting at R4399.

However, the introduction of the device comes just weeks before Apple is expected to take the wraps off the second-generation iPad. A Core Group spokesman couldn't say whether the company will sell the iPad 2 at launch.

The looming introduction of the next-generation iPad could crimp sales of the device in SA. It's estimated that as many as 50 000 first-generation iPads are already in the country, bought by people travelling overseas or through e-commerce websites such as Wantitall and Kalahari.net.

Pricing details are: iPad with WiFi - 16GB @ R4399; 32GB @ R5399; 64GB @ R6399. iPad with Wi-Fi and 3G: 16GB @ R5599; 32GB @ R6599; 64GB @ R7599.
