Apple iPad to be officially released December 17, 2010 | Power Mac Center

So the iPad Officiial Launching in the Philippines will be on December 17 and not Dec 13. Rumor has it that the delay is due to some "problems" with NTC. They say the price for iPad 16gb wifi is around P24,000.

There are also talks that iPad 2.0 will be released in the US some time next year and that the new version comes with a dual camera. Some of those who plans to buy an iPad are considering to wait few more months for the iPad 2nd gen.

As for me, I can no longer wait. I'll go to Power Mac Center in Mall of Asia next week!

iPad Officiial Launching in the Philippines

The Mega Exchange store at Mall of Asia sells iPad 16gb (wifi only) for only P26,000. That's for one time cash payment. No zero interest installment plan for credit cards. If you buy it using credit card on a 12-month installment plan, the total cost would be P29,900. Was bout to buy one yesterday night but decided to just wait for the official launching of iPad in the Philippines.

Setsu may be right, the price could still go down after the official launching. According to some tech blogs I've read, iPad will be officially launched in the Philippines on December 13, 2010. Will just wait for it.

Another factor that made me decide to delay buying is because of the warranty offered by Mega Exchange - 6 months and for service only. It doesn't sound so good. The Chicken Enchilada we had at Mexicali yesterday night while talking about the iPad launching was good! :-)

I can't wait for the official launching of iPad in the Philippines!
