With the lower prices, shoppers can pick up a 16GB Wi-Fi only iPad for $399, or $529 for the 16GB model with Wi-Fi and 3G. The 64GB Wi-Fi only models goes for $599 now, and the 64GB with Wi-Fi and 3G is $729.

The new iPad models offer the same storage capacity and display, but they are thinner and offer substantially faster processors, front and rear-facing cameras, along with white or black bezels. Apple’s second generation iPad lineup will be available on March 11.
