If you’re head over heels for an iPad, it will pay to be a teacher or some other figure in an educational institution.

This is because – like it has done in the past with its laptops and other hardware – Apple is offering discounted iPad 10-packs for educators. The packs are available in these configurations:

BF822LL/A: iPad Wi-Fi (16GB) $US4,790

BF825LL/A: iPad Wi-Fi (16GB) with AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad – Auto Enroll $US5,580

BF823LL/A: iPad Wi-Fi (32GB) $US5,790

BF826LL/A: iPad Wi-Fi (32GB) with AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad – Auto Enroll $US6,580

BF824LL/A: iPad Wi-Fi (64GB) $US6,790

BF827LL/A: iPad Wi-Fi (64GB) with AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad – Auto Enroll $US7,580

MacRumors reports that there are no discounts for individual iPad orders, so, um, be sure to have a class/organisation size of at least 10. [MacRumors]
