If you really really can’t wait for the iPad mini to arrive in local stores and the US is too far for you to travel to just to get one, you’ll be happy to know the miniaturized iPad is now available in neighboring Asian countries Hong Kong and Singapore.

Price?

Check out Apple Store Singapore’s iPad mini pricing below:

		S$ price	Conversion rate ($1=Php33.62)
	16GB iPad mini WiFi only	$448	Php15,063
	32GB iPad mini WiFi only	$578	Php19,438
	64GB iPad mini WiFi only	$708	Php23,805
	16GB iPad mini WiFi+Cellular	$618	Php20,779
	32GB iPad mini WiFi+Cellular	$748	Php25,150
	64GB iPad mini WiFi+Cellular	$878	Php29,520

For those planning on heading on to Hong Kong soon, here’s how much the iPad mini’s going for there:

		HK$ price	Conversion rate ($1=Php5.38)
	16GB iPad mini WiFi only	$2,588	Php13,788
	32GB iPad mini WiFi only	$3,388	Php18,051
	64GB iPad mini WiFi only	$4,188	Php22,313
	16GB iPad mini WiFi+Cellular	$3,588	Php19,116
	32GB iPad mini WiFi+Cellular	$4,388	Php23,379
	64GB iPad mini WiFi+Cellular	$5,188	Php27,641

No surprise here. Just like with the iPad 3, the iPad mini is also cheaper in Hong Kong.

And if this is any indiction of how much the iPad mini will cost here in the Philippines, the entry-level iPad mini might actually debut around the predicted Php16.5K price point of Art. Operative might as it could also be much pricier, which isn’t a far fetched idea.

Anyway, we’ll hopefully soon find out.
