and come on, if you can afford an iPad or and iPhone 4, then $30 is hardly going to be a concern

This is good as I am tied into my existing mobile broadband plan for another six months so I want to be able to use it with my iPad. To be honest I'd rather pay $30 than do the SIM chopping thing, although based on the comment above it sounds like I might be able to get one for free anyway.

Perhaps its considered a 'Premium' product and they're charging accordingly?

Just think - with 2degrees you could have 15 trys at trimming a full size one....

Ahh the " if you can afford an iProduct, we will gouge you even more" business model :)

The mature form of "you bought an iPad. Your argument is invalid".

So does anyone know if they come with one of those little adapters so you can still use it in other devices when required?

Little birdie claimed Telecom will NOT be introducing microsims. I take that with worlds largest grain of salt, but has anyone else heard anything?

Like it really matters....

If you go in with a mate it's probably going to cost less than the $30 each VF are charging for a micro sim.

$41.20 including freight.

Comes regular freight from a country I can't spell, so guessing 2 weeks. Can just about bet every 2nd dodgy cell phone shop will have one of these by the time the ipad/iphone4 arrives.
