MANILA, Philippines—Globe Telecom announced Wednesday it would start offering the new iPad in the Philippines on May 29.

The iPad will be made available with a range of Tattoo data plans that will allow customers to connect to Globe’s nationwide network at speed of up to 42Mbps.

The third-generation iPad is a category-defining mobile device that features a new Retina display, Apple’s new A5X chip with quad-core graphics and a 5-megapixel iSight camera with advanced optics and 1080p HD video. It also still delivers the same all-day 10-hour battery life while remaining thin and light.

“We’re very excited to launch the incredible new iPad in the Philippines,” said Peter Bithos, senior adviser for consumer business of Globe Telecom. “Customers using our network on their new iPad will experience great value Tattoo data plans and amazing speed for an unbeatable user experience.”
