Softbank makes 16GB iPad WiFi + 3G free with two-year contract

[/img]An iPad for zilch on contract? Yessir... but only if you pack up
and move to the Land of the Rising Sun. Softbank Mobile has just
announced a new pricing plan that makes Apple's 16GB iPad WiFi + 3G
model totally free with a two-year data agreement in Japan, and for
those who recall it being "free" before, this situation is a bit
different. You see, there's no built-in monthly surcharge for this
one; rather than paying off your iPad over 24 months, you're actually
getting it for nothing as long as you're kosher with forking out ¥
4,725 ($56) per month for that 3G goodness. The deal starts on
December 3rd, and we've got a strange, strange feeling that it'll do
quite well if marketed correctly. And by "correctly," we mean "at all."

[Thanks, Ken]
