An apples to apples comparison of iPad data plans

By George Ou 11 May 2010 No Comment

If we listened to all the stories of how far behind U.S. mobile Internet service is, this Engadget review of iPad service plans would come as a complete shock to us since Americans have a relatively good deal.  Customers in Japan who opt for a long-term contract have to pay ¥2,910/month ($31.2/month based on 5/11/2010 exchange rate) but the iPad comes with a locked SIM.  American iPad owners who aren’t required to have a contract and get unlocked SIMs need to pay $30/month.
