Apple today officially released the iPad in the Philippines. The
Apple Philippines Online Store are now selling them, starting at Php23,990 for the entry-level WiFi model.
You should see units on display on local Apple Resellers as well with
the same pricing as the online store (Apple’s very strict about
pricing).
However, if you’re looking to get some educational discounts, the
iCampus Store in Ateneo offers them a bit lower.
If you order them online, it will take 3 to 5 days shipping. However,
you also have the option to have it laser-engraved thru that channel.
We did a little
survey here asking readers if the local release of the iPad in the Philippines was a good timing. It’s probably one of the “most delayed” Apple device
to officially hit the country from the time it’s announced (the iPhone 4
even beat it to the line).
