T-Mobile Offering Free Data for New iPad Mini and iPad Air

There has been plenty of Apple excitement and buzz yesterday after the company revealed the new Retina iPad Mini and iPad Air. Those pondering the purchase of a Cellular + WiFi version of the new iPads with T-Mobile as their service provider have just a little more to be excited about.  

T-Mobile is offering users who buy the new iPads the deal of free 200 MB monthly data. For reference, AT&T is offering 250 MB monthly data for $14.99. Verizon and Sprint are offering 1 GB of monthly data for $14.99 and don't have equivalent tiers. 

For those only looking to check their emails and use iMessage every once in a while, 200 MB is a decent deal, especially since it's free, though whether it justifies dropping an extra cash for the cellular model over the WiFi-only model is up to the user.
