New iPad SKUs show up at BestBuy.com

Uh.. why is price 599, 599 and 699?
Why do they have two different sku with same priced iPad for? BB is total stupid.
 
Looks like I can finally use my Accidental Damage Protection plan by accidentally leaving it on the roof of my car and opting to use the money towards this beauty. Yay for insurance fraud!
 
$599 is what i expect the new entry model for iPad 2 to be. If they double screen res, they will need to sell it for $599 at least.

If Verizon iPads, shouldn't these be 629, 729, 829 then?

thats what i thought, because if one said 499 then that display rumor would become very interesting. also does this mean it could launch sooner than april. i dont how long in advance a company would put these up (assuming this is not accidental or a prank).

what does everyone think: accidentally put up early or accidentally put up at all.
 
Apple Computer Inc,?

Last time I checked, Apple Computer Inc, was no longer a company; as they changed their name to Apple Inc, a few years back. Maybe Best Buy did not get the memo. Shows how unreliable their product placement pages are, if they can't get the company right, how are we suppose to believe they have the details right.
 
Strong rumors concerning the Retina Display + strong rumors of approximate pricing = win.

For now, I believe Tablets will (have to be) continue to be tied to Desktops.

5 years from now, tablets/phones & cloud accounts.

Request: SJ understands the value of personal time, and time to spend reflecting. Please allow the iPad/(Apple product), cloud, and social nature of the internet to respect privacy and the positives of being able to separate from the rest of the world, if even just for a little while.

I still can't believe Apple would launch an iPad with anything near their retina display. I'd buy it in an instant if they did. Regarding the $599 price tag, is it that hard to believe they would slightly decrease the price? It's not substantial but enough for more peopento choose the 3G models over Wifi. If it supported both AT&T and Verizon I would without a doubt buy one.
 
It was overpriced at $500, but $600? Wow.


The thing cannot even properly view half of the internet (Read: flash) yet costs more than most laptops.

Save the money and buy yourself a real tablet.

Sorry but Gingerbread is going to annihilate the iPad when it comes out.

Cool, but I really hope there will be an entry level model below $599!

Agreed, although if the display rumors are true....maybe $599. Ughh I'm starting to not like these super quick refreshes! *It's like Futurama, you have a 301 inch T.V the next day they come out with one that's 302 inches:rolleyes:

gingerbread looks nice and all, but a lot more cluttered and busy than iOS, which is clean and user-friendly.
 
there is always the chance the ipad will follow the iphone with respect to product line: the current ipad becomes the low-end ipad, with maybe even a lower price point.
 
this gets me excited but i'm sure it's nothing to think more on, and will probably be removed from BB's website by tomorrow afternoon. i wish apple would've announced ipad 2 before the verizon iphone.

is it me or have ipad 2 rumors gone up like crazy this past week? seems like every day we learn of another new rumor that is pretty big in the minds of people anticipating this device so much.

here's to hoping steve jobs gets onstage in the next couple weeks and says "ipad 2: begins shipping this week"

that'd be excellent.
 
600$ for iPad2? That only means that iPad1 will continue to exists, maybe at 400$.

iPad1 is everywhere now, it does not make sense to stop producing it in april
