In line with its drive to provide customers with the latest mobile devices in the international market, GO has introduced the iPad 2 that is now on sale at all GO retail outlets and authorised resellers in Malta and Gozo. This newest version of Apple iPad is thinner, lighter, faster than ever before and is full of great ideas. There are two types of new iPad 2 to choose from – standard iPad2 model with Wi-Fi selling at €499 and iPad2 with Wi-Fi+3G selling at €650 – great ways to stay connected!

All iPad models come with built-in Wi-Fi – simply ideal for users who have a high-speed Internet router in their home or if they use their iPad near a wireless hot-spot – practically anywhere from a hotel to a coffee shop. IPad 2 Wi-Fi+3G is the perfect solution for always-on Internet access for checking mail, surfing the Web – and much more! Apparently, the 3G-enabled iPad 2 is almost identical to the Wi-Fi model and the two share almost all of the same features with the exception of those related to 3G networking and GPS.

The plethora of amazing features include internal 16GB storage, 512MB Random Access Memory (RAM), Processor 1GHz dual-core Apple A5 custom-designed, high performance, low-powered system-on-a-chip, back camera video recording HD (720p), still camera 5x digital zoom, front camera video recording, Video Graphics Array (VGA) up to 30 frames per second, VGA-quality still camera, Wi-Fi, digital compass, MP4/MP3/WAV/AAC player, up to 10hours movie playback, iBooks PDF reader, Google Maps and much more!

Speaking about the Apple iPad 2, Luan Vella, Manager, Indirect Sales & Device Management at GO said: “We are absolutely delighted to be in a position to give our customers the opportunity to enjoy the amazing performance of the Apple iPad – an extremely fun gadget to lay your hands on. With all the games and various applications, it’s no wonder that more and more people everyday are buying iPad 2.”

“Once you pick up iPad 2 there’s no putting it down. And this is precisely the whole idea behind the all-new design. IPad 2 is 33 percent thinner, up to 15 percent lighter and feels so comfortable in your hands. It sure makes surfing the web, checking email, watching movies and reading books such an amazing experience – incredible technology under your fingers!”

GO customers purchasing an Apple iPad2 WiFi 3G benefit from a special offer consisting of one free Pay As You GO mobile connection and a free data bundle of 6GB worth of free local data usage valid for a period of 90 days from date of activation. The free 6GB data bundle is activated when the customer makes the first call by dialling 123 from a voice-capable device using the SIM card provided. Before they can start to benefit from the offer, customers must wait to receive an SMS notification from GO advising them that their free data bundle has been successfully activated. The offer runs until the 30 September and is open to registered Pay As You GO customers.
