Groupon iPad

Groupon: It's not just for bikini waxes anymore.

Today's Groupon in the U.K. is for a cheap Apple iPad, albeit last year's model, and with a hefty T-Mobile subscription requirement attached to it.

For £49 (about $79) you can get a 32GB iPad 1 -- again, this not the iPad 2, which goes on sale in the UK on March 25. T-Mobile says this is a £229 value, saving you £180.

The catch is that you have to sign up for a 2-year, £27-per-month data plan. That's $1,040 worth of 3G access on a year-old iPad you're getting yourself into. But if you were going to buy one anyway...

So far, 411 have been purchased, with 33 hours left in the promotion.

Apple is holding an event today at its Cupertino, Calif. headquarters, where it's expected to unveil a new MacBook Air laptop, a new suite of the iLife software, and a preview of the next version of its Mac OS X operating system.

Apple is going to live-stream video of the event on its website, as it did last month for its iPod/Apple TV event. But again, the stream will only work if you're using relatively up-to-date Apple equipment.

Specifically, the stream will be available to people with Macs running Safari on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, an iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or newer, or an iPad.

The live stream will begin at 1 p.m. ET, 10 a.m. PT, at Apple.com.

SAI will also be providing live coverage and analysis of the event. Visit our homepage all day for the latest.
