Orange has confirmed it’ll be the first major UK mobile network to offer the Apple iPad at a subsidised price when purchased with a data plan. In a brief statement it said these purchase options for Wi-Fi + 3G iPad models would be available “in the coming months”.
It's currently anticipated that 3G iPad prices on Orange UK will start from around £200 with a contract.
[Update: T-Mobile has just issued a similar short statement saying it'll also be offering the iPad with a contract]
