You can get just an iPad wireless and probably directly from Apple or Best buy Stephen Guerra Assistive Technology and Technical Operations Specialist Independent living aids, LLC 200 Robbins Lane Jericho, New York 11753-2341 Phone: 800.537.2118 Direct: 516.450.3817 Fax: 516.450.3842 E-mail: stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web sites: www.independentliving.com www.soundbytes.com -----Original Message----- From: mac4theblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mac4theblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lena Contreras Sent: Monday, October 10, 2011 12:53 PM To: mac4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mac4theblind] Re: IPad2 Hi Can you buy an unlocked iPad if you don't want to rely on AT and T or Verizon for data plan? Just curious. I will most likely get an iPad and small braille display when my BrailleNote PK dies. I haven't upgraded the software on it for a few years now anyway. I like my iPhone but sometimes need to write documents and think the iPad would be a better replacement for my notetaker than an iPod Touch even though it is a bigger device.
