Any idea of how the data side will work with the 3G units?

I am impressed that SA cracked the nod so soon

Wow that became officially available soon. Makes me almost consider about my decision going Android route seen as I am still waiting for my Galaxy 10.1v

 

[marine1]

Those prices are awesome IMO

What about the data? You can get a micro SIM contract or prepaid with a bundle loaded. Or on Vodacom you can get a Data Only SIM which is linked to your contract data bundle so they can both share the same bundles etc.
And there's similar options like "Dual SIM"' from other providers. - But apparently CellC do not support 3G on the iPad.. o.0

Wow, I am so impressed that SA are getting the iPad 2 so soon, and at such incredible pricing! I just feel sorry for all those that bought the original in the last couple of months, although functionally there's not that much difference.

Smart peeps will now be able to buy iPad 1 for next to nothing and get basically the same thing, sans cameras and Tupperware lid.

 

[Sensorei]

Damn, hopefully I can still get R5k for my iPad 3G 64GB

 

[Viper25]

I want one. Nice pricing.

I can't believe it! Decided to buy a 16GB wifi only iPad from Incredible Connection last Saturday because I thought that it would be many a month before the iPad 2 came out here. If I could get over feeling guilty about it I would take it back as it's still withinin the 10 day money back period and get the iPad 2 on Friday.

 

[Pixual]

Take it back, man!

 

[MonTage]

Boo ya!! Gotta get one now!

 

[kingrob]

Isn't it ironic that you must plug the iPad into a computer, straight after opening the box?

Seriously ?

I am happy with my Android Tablet - My Galaxy Tab still doing it for me... Why pay an extra R1200-00 for an embedded 3G...

Yes and no...

1) I am sure if you chop the SIM it will work (iPad 2 is 900Mhz capable)
2) Get a 3G wireless router (netgear, edimax, dovado) and use the Wifi to connect to 3G CellC Speedstick.

Option 2 is also good in future or to use prepaid MTN, Vodacom with iPad 1 or 2...
