Coveting an iPad, but not willing to pay full price? If you happen to live in Austria and don't mind committing to a two-year data contract, Hutchison's got you covered. The carrier's offering a 333 Euro (approximately US $455) discount if you sign up for a 29.90 Euro, 5GB monthly data contract. Sounds great, but frankly we still don't know how much it's gonna cost outside of the US -- the foreign sites still list American prices, as far as we can tell. The other catch is that whole "iPad doesn't do UMTS" issue, but Hutchison's got you covered there, too -- instead of offering the integrated 3G version, you're getting a Huawei i-Mo 3G modem to create a personal WiFi cloud with the iPad. Elegant? Not really, but it's still quite the deal. No indication when Apple's device will hit Austria, but we gotta imagine they wouldn't set up such an offer without a short-term plan.Hutchison Austria to offer discounted iPad with 2-year contract for i-Mo 3G modem originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:41:00 EST.
