First post, been on the site for a while though. Couldn't hold back and bought an iPad, tried to sell me some accessories but didn't really push too hard. Pretty excited and a GREAT DEAL!! 16GB
Reduced prices on Verizon iPad1-mifi packages NOW available online
I scored two 32GB iPad1s from Verizon on Friday in South Portland Maine.
I kept check the online site all day in case the local Verizon store was out, but the Verizon online prices were still at the pre-sale price. ($529, $629, $729).
I just noticed now (Sunday, 9 PM EDT) that the Verizon online iPad LANDING page states that the iPad1-Mifi combos begin at $429 ($100 less than Friday). However, when you click on "Build" package, you are taken to the page with the OLD (pre-sale) prices.
Maybe they are waiting until Monday AM to fix the "build" page, but you can RIGHT now short circuit it and jump right to the individual combo package pages.
The Wifi only versions will probably NOT be offered online.
It is also my assumption is that these prices will NOT be available in the stores, because when I scored my two 32GB wifi only, the clerk told me that there was not a SINGLE mifi to be had in the state of Maine.
sold! Picked up my first ipad, 1st gen 32GB version on friday from the local VZ store. I was planning to purchase the 2nd gen but the math makes this deal too good to pass up.
Picked up a 32 gig last night for $399. I had a choice between a 16 gig and the 32 gig. Those were the only two they had left in inventory. I figured since I'm going to be using this for quite a while, I'd go ahead and get the 32. I was glad they had a couple left.
