Mark your calendars, folks!
We’ve finally got the date when the new iPad will be arriving in Philippine stores.
May 29 - that’s next Tuesday – is D-day when the New iPad/iPad 3/iPad HD or whatever the heck you wanna call it will officially be debuting in the Philippines, ending weeks of waiting for those who don’t have the connects or means to buy it overseas.
How much more expensive will it be to get it here as opposed to sourcing it from elsewhere, we still don’t know yet, but for now, we leave you with the pricing of the new iPad in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the US and how much it’s worth once converted to local currency:
