Midwest Retailer Cuts iPad 2 Prices In Anticipation of iPad 3 Release

If any of our readers are in the Midwest states of Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio or Kentucky, you’ll want to head down to your local Meijer store and pick yourself up an iPad 2. The Midwest chain is slashing the price of the Cupertino Giant’s latest tablet in anticipation of this Spring’s iPad 3 announcement and release. They will be cutting the price by $70 bucks taking it down to $429. That isn’t bad for what is still breaking records and destroying the competition at angle. The sale started today and will last until the 18th of February.

Along with the iPad 2, Meijer will also feature the iPad 2 SmartCover on sale for $35, as well as offering a $15 iTunes gift card for free with the purchase of an 8GB iPod Touch.

We aren’t sure if the rumors are true slating the iPad 3 release in March. We obviously hope to get our hands on the next addition to the Apple Tablet family, so until that day comes, enjoy this amazing and magical device for under $430!
