The iPad of Your Dreams (AAPL)
March 16, 2010 10:00 AM
Do you think the $499 price tag of the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPad was a little... low? For all you big spenders out there comes this, a $20,000 diamond encrusted iPad. Despite costing more than a Honda Civic, this 11.43 carat gem is available in limited quantities only, so hurry up and order now.
If you're not looking to splurge on the jeweled version, but still want an iPad, get in line. Apple sold 120,000 iPad units in just the first day of pre-orders, proving they can sell just about anything with that pretty little logo on it.
I'm going to be on the lookout for users of this aesthetically enhanced version. You should be able to pick them out easily. They're the ones Tweeting in the corner of Starbucks... with a bodyguard in tow.
AAPL shares have surged since late January's announcement of it's latest (almost) hand held device. It's down less than a percent today to $223.25. Keep an eye out for when Apple will be able to let supply meet demand for the iPad, and how investors react.
