Article published by Bloomberg says the U.S. Air Force completed contract of 9.36 million dollars for the purchase of approximately 18,000 iPad 2.
The AirMobility Command announced the contract with the company Executive Technology Inc, which will undertake the purchase of equipment. The move comes after a similar initiative of the U.S. civil aviation for which we have mentioned in an earlier publication. Essentially, the iPad will replace traditional flight bags for pilots with electronic tools.
The Air Force will buy iPad 2 version of the 32GB Wi-Fi. The price reaches $599, but the Air Force took off to buy 18.000 songs to $520.
Initially, the Air Force will receive 63 iPad 2 which will be subjected to appropriate testing to proceed and purchase the remaining devices.
