Three announces Ipad 2 prices ahead of launch

MOBILE OPERATOR Three has announced its prices for the Apple Ipad 2 on contract only plans.

The contract will cost £25 per month on a 24 month contract across the board of models, which Three is offering in black and white versions. You can head to Three's store on Oxford Street at 5pm to pick up an Ipad 2 today, or at other stores across the UK.

For new customers a one-off payment for Apple's shiny gadget will be required. The full range of storage options will be available with a 16GB model costing £229, 32GB costing £279 and 64GB costing £379. A 15GB monthly data usage allowance applies across all of the deals.

Existing customers can pick up the device for £30 less with the same £25 a month contract. These prices match exactly what Vodafone announced yesterday, apart from the slightly different monthly payments. µ
