According to a (now deleted) tweet by major German electronics retailer Media Markt, the Apple iPad will go on sale March 1st at a price of 499 Euros with contract with T-Mobile or 899 Euros without. In U.S. prices this would likely be around $500-$600 U.S. with contract and $999 without. We came to these numbers by comparing similarly priced Apple items sold in Euros and USD (Mac Mini: 549 Euros / $599 USD, MacBook 899 Euros / $999 USD).

"iPad" was already a rumoured name, along with iSlate... and the pricepoint seems to be on par with earlier rumours of the device being reasonably priced ($500-$600 with contract).

One analyst now claims that Apple may allow all U.S. Carriers to sell the iPhone:
T-Mobile USA Inc. will get the phone this summer, followed by Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. in the fall, and Clearwire Corp. in 2011, Horan wrote in a note yesterday. AT&T Inc. has been the exclusive carrier since the iPhone debuted in June 2007.
This report leads to one possible interpretation of the Apple invitation with colors lining up with the brands of major carriers:
