Yes! iPad is coming to town and it's just the right time for daddy, mammy, girl friend and boy friend stop scratching your head what to buy for Christmas.

It was started when I simply browse to http://maxis.com.my/ipad and it come to the page below;

Although it come to an empty contain page but it did mention "temporarily unavailable" so it may be true.

So I find Mr. Go, Google and it directed me to lowyat.net and some found leaked infos and price of the Maxis iPad and as well MacStudio price of the new iPad.

Thanks to a lowyat member stringfellow, he shared out the coming maxis data plans.

How real is the plans after seeing this photo?


Looking at the photo, Maxis offers both postpaid and prepaid plans for iPad.

The postpaid plans for iPad;
RM70 for 3.5GB = RM20/GB
RM90 for 6.0GB = RM15/GB
RM200 for 15GB = RM13.33/GB

As for the prepaid plads for iPad;
RM8 for 500MB with validity 1 day
RM18 for 500MB with validity 30 days
RM28 for 1.0GB with validity 30 days.


There are also pricelist of iPad leaked from MacStudio:
16GB WiFi = RM1,549
32GB WiFi = RM1,849
64GB WiFi = RM2,149

I did also tried out http://digi.com.my/ipad it come to an expired link and redirect to the main page. I guess DiGi is not planning to bring iPad in.

Seem that DiGi is not interested on this and probably a great move whereby rumor the 2nd generation of iPad maybe coming soon.
