So, if you are a Apple Fan boy and want to get your hands on this coveted device before any-one else – make a beeline in front of Apple stores at 9:00 am sharp, which is when the stores in India will open with Shiny iPad 2 on their shelves. And yes, in India they don’t have too many Apple stores, so you can go to the premium resellers of Apple Products – Croma, Vijay Sales, Reliance iStore and eZone !
Additionally, many blogs had previously mentioned that price of iPad 2 in India will be same as iPad (16GB wifi model for ) – but that’s not the case. iPad 2 will come at a slight premium.

Yeah even I wish if they could sell at the original iPad’s price. But whatever it’s worth to pay 1.5 k extra and getting it earlier.this is no sense in bringing only wifi or only 3g product in todays age of communication n connectivity even cheapest tablet and smartphone has both 3g and wifi.Sorry to say that but i am atleast not considering to buy ipad2 even though its great and going with others options in market
