New Apple iPad to Hit Stores in India on April 27

The new Apple iPad will be available in India from April 27, 2012, a month after it started selling the latest version of its popular tablet computer in 10 countries including the United States.

The third iteration of the best-selling device is priced between Rs 30,500 and Rs 50,900 in the Indian market depending on the variant.

The iPad with 16 GB of memory that works only on wi-fi networks is priced at Rs 30,500, while the one that can operate on both wi-fi as well as fourth-generation (4G) mobile networks costs Rs 38,900.

Customers have the option to buy the new iPad in black or white with 16, 32, or 64 GB of memory, and can choose a model that works only on wi-fi or on both wi-fi and 4G.

The company will continue to sell the iPad 2 in India but has slashed its prices, with the 16 GB wi-fi model now available for Rs 24,500 while the 3G version will cost Rs 32,900, Apple said.
