The store will be opening at 11AM local time, according to the email sent in by an iClarified reader, and it will be located in the luxurious VillageMall shopping center.

You wouldn't believe it. An iPad 16GB wifi+3G costs here amazing R$ 2,049.00 or US$ 840.00, against US$ 629.00 in US. It was worse before. Since Apple has started assembling iPhones and iPads in Brazil the prices felt down. A little.
