Ipad Comes to India !!

Much awaited gadgets Apple ipad, which was released long back in most of the countries, has reached India ! It has tied up with government-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to launch the tablet in the country.
The reason for the delay has been told to be that Indians generally don't prefer Apple product as they are quite costly when compare to other products which gives them similar features, like samsung galaxy tablet, dell streak and notion ink.

Now the price range at which you can buy IPad in India are as follows,
Wi-Fi Version ranges from INR 26,000 to 33,000, that is around 582.71200 U.S. dollars to 739.596 U.S. dollars.
3G + Wi-Fi  Version Ipad ranges from INR 33,000 to 44,000, that is around 739.596 U.S. dollars to 986.12800 U.S. dollars.
I've given the price range because Ipad comes with various capacities, like 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.

Now, Can Apple Ipad  (a tablet PC) stand strong in India ?

• Apple got an set back when Samsung reduced its tablet pc cost from INR 36,499, that is 818.015588 U.S. dollars to INR 29,500, that is 661.15400 U.S. dollars. So, the chances of Apple IPad been popular and selling it in India looks dim, at present.
• Also,  there are rumors that ipad 2 will also be released in India soon !

The above two reasons are keeping Indians away from buying ipad, and I guess when ipad 2 is released it will be sold out as soon as it comes to the market !

So, are you planning to buy a new ipad today ?

P.S Apple Iphone 4 is also released in India recently.
