You have just minutes to decide if you’re going to get an iPad 2. Which is it to be Vodafone or Three. Chances are it’s going to be Vodafone as Three are stocking the iPad 2 in just a select number of stores.
Both Voda and Three put out almost identical releases today even down to the language they use in describing their offer. This is Three
“Three today announced it will offer iPad 2 with Wi-Fi + 3G in the UK as well as dedicated data plans for iPad 2 from this evening. Three will offer iPad 2 with Wi-Fi + 3G models with a range of attractive price plans, including iPad 2 at a more affordable price on select tariff plans with a two-year contract.”
This is Vodafone
“Vodafone UK today announced it will offer iPad 2 with Wi-Fi + 3G in the UK as well as dedicated data plans for iPad 2 on March 25. Vodafone UK will offer iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G models with a range of attractive price plans, including iPad 2 at a more affordable price on select tariff plans with a two-year contract. ”
It’s almost as if they’ve been copying off each other.
The only difference is the sign off according to Three
“We’re extremely excited to be launching iPad 2 on Three,” said Marc Allera, sales and marketing director, Three UK. “Our network was designed and built to deliver the best data experience on innovative products like iPad.”
