Apple iPad 2 to Hit India later this Week

This comes as a surprise to all of us. Apple will launch the second generation iPad 2 in India at a price starting at Rs. 27,900 later this week. OnlyGizmos blog claims to have been tipped by a trusted source about this launch. It's surprising because hardly three months ago, Apple introduced the first generation iPad in India.

The second generation iPad 2 has a dual-core processor, dual-cameras, speaker mesh at the back, Gyroscopic sensor, accelerometer, and faster graphics. In a way, iPad 2 is a step up and refreshed version of iPad but nothing so phenomenally different. You can go through our iPad 2 preview.

Apple launched the iPad in India on January 28 and now the iPad 2 is expected to be launched on April 28. Within the span of 12 weeks, Apple slashed the price of iPad and now will introduce iPad 2 in India.

The price of Apple iPad currently in India is:

- iPad with Wi-Fi (16GB): Rs. 24,500
- iPad with Wi-Fi (32GB): Rs. 29,500
- iPad with Wi-Fi (64GB): Rs. 34,500
- iPad with Wi-Fi+3G (16GB): Rs. 31,900
- iPad with Wi-Fi+3G (32GB): Rs. 36,900
- iPad with Wi-Fi+3G (64GB): Rs. 41,900

Based on that, I assume that the price of different iPad 2 models might be:

- iPad with Wi-Fi (16GB): Rs. 27,900
- iPad with Wi-Fi (32GB): Rs. 32,900
- iPad with Wi-Fi (64GB): Rs. 37,900
- iPad with Wi-Fi+3G (16GB): Rs. 34,900
- iPad with Wi-Fi+3G (32GB): Rs. 39,900
- iPad with Wi-Fi+3G (64GB): Rs. 44,900

Well, these are the same prices at which the iPad was introduced and that's why I think would be applicable for iPad 2 as well. Don't count this as the final prices until we confirm.
