UK Carriers Slash iPad Prices Ahead of Expected Refresh
TechRadar reports that a pair of UK wireless carriers have slashed their pricing on 3G-capable iPad models, presumably looking to clear stock ahead of an anticipated update to the popular tablet device. The two carriers, Orange and T-Mobile, are offering the price drops to those customers signing up for 24-month data contracts.
Orange is now selling the iPad for £99 on its 24-month contracts and T-Mobile is offering the same to existing customers.
Previously, Orange was offering the iPad WiFi + 3G at £199.99 upfront on a £25 per month contract to existing customers and at £229.99 for new customers on a £27 per month contract - so the new pricing offers a saving of at least £100 on each.
T-Mobile, meanwhile, is only offering the discount to existing customers on a 24-month £25 tariff.

Way more excited about this than I am a MBP. Hopefully only a month from some announcement.

It's worth noting that T-Mobile and Orange merged a while ago and are now the same company, just operating the two brands separately for the time being, so it's not quite as notable as it sounds (in that probably only one person/group has acted on the basis of the rumours, rather than two which would be more significant).

Not for me... I'd hate to be stuck on a 2 year plan with a secondary mobile device - most of the time I'd be on WiFi anyway.

It's a good sign. Last week at&t started to discount the accessories, this week Orange is dropping it's prices to dump stock. Nice.:)
