Talk about incoming press releases! I got three today, from O2, Vodafone, and Orange, respectively – and all were talking about when they are releasing iPad pricing – those amongst you that are pretty sharp might notice a lot of similarity in the text itself….! Now we already know that big pancaked-iPhone is late (because the US wants loads more, so-says Apple), but it would appear the ‘date’ in everyones minds is ‘late May’ – nice and vague I know, with loads of wiggle room – but to be fair, the Operators are kind of at the mercy of Apple. So here are the press releases in order:
Vodafone

The iPad lets users browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch HD videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and much more, all using iPad’s revolutionary Multi-Touch user interface.
