New iPad headed to China on July 20th Following their settlement over the trademark of the iPad name, Apple will begin selling the third-generation tablet on July 20th in China.
Last week, the company announced it would be paying $60 million to settle the year-old dispute.

The new tablet will sell for $500 base and the iPad 2 will fall to $399.

Chinese buyers can purchase the device online and through approved Apple retailers.

The third generation tablet was launched in March in the U.S. and many other nations but had been delayed in the world's most populous nation due to the lawsuit. The tablet brings Retina Display, a faster processor and other new features and upgrades.

Well at least they don't have far to go to buy them since that is where they are manufactured.

I was about to say... What do they mean "headed to China"? Aren't they already there? They should certainly shave boat loads of cash on shipping alone.
