Well, it's official. Apple has announced the release of a 128GB iPad that will be available for sale starting February 5, 2013.
It's the same iPad as is currently available, except for storage size. The LTE model is 929 bucks and the WiFi only version is between 700 and 800 bucks (I'm too damned lazy to clarify the latter price).
As the Microsoft Surface Pro comes out on February 9th, this is an obvious ploy to empty the bank accounts of potential Surface Pro customers before they can buy one.
Tough titties, Apple. I'm not buying any more iPads. I'm waiting for my Surface Pro. I'll certainly be able to do more with the damned thing than I can with the iPad.
(and if you're wondering about getting interwebs access with the Pro, I can take my current iPad along as a personal hotspot, which I already do for my other devices)
So there.
