Since the iPad is marketed by Apple Inc. primarily as a platform for audio-visual media including books, periodicals, movies, games and web content, it is imperative that the large audience, to which it facilitates, is able to access the iPad in whatever part of the world. In 2010 when the iPad was publicly launched, individual in parts of the world except the US were unable to access the equipment but since it has been introduced to the global market, there is a greater degree of accessibility.
In a global setting, the iPad 2 can be ordered online from Apple stores, Verizon and AT&T stores. In Jamaica, one can get the iPad from the Boulevard supercentre, the Watts New stores, KGs. A technician, from the International centre for Environmental and Nuclear Sciences (ICENS) at the University of the West Indies (UWI), states that the cost for a new iPad ranges from $60 000JMD; however a used iPad could cost $40 000JMD. The iPad can also cost $74 000JMD. A 16GB costs $US499, 32GB is for $US599 and a ipad2 which has 64 GB costs $US699, according to Ben Patterson of Yahoo news.
In Jamaica, speeds of Digicel 3G and 4G Broadband can be used with the ipad2 when using the internet. The user would just need to ‘Plug, Pay and Go!’ With Digicel Data services you can browse the internet directly from your mobile phone or from your laptop using a data modem. With Data Services you can
o Browse the internet
o Access our Digicel Live Portal
o Download content – music, ringtones and games etc
o Use email service
Digcel’s network uses both General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technologies to deliver data services. This will definitely work with the ipad2 because the ipad2 is compatible with EDGE/GPRS.
