  Apple shows the new iPad as we announced earlier with a very decent pricing model to follow.  To keep the price down it comes in at $499 with Wifi, 16GB and no 3G radio.  The price escalates to $599 for 32GB and $699 for 64GB.  SHould you decided you want to get a 3G radio you pay an addition $129 to each of the previously mentioned prices.  

The cost for Unlimited 3G data is just $14.99 a month for 250MB of data or $30 per month for Unlimited data.  You can imagine which one most will choose.
