Three UK announces iPad Air pricing, starts at £119 up front

In less than 24 hours, the first UK iPad Air customers will be walking out of stores across the land with their new hotness, but for those looking for something a little more subsidized, Three might have you covered. Leaving it almost as late as possible, the carrier has announced pricing for the iPad Air and associated data plans. If you're going subsidized, then you're looking at dropping at least £119 up front.

For that, you'll get a 16GB WiFi + Cellular iPad Air with 15GB of data per month for two-years, at a monthly rate of £29. Pay £179 up front for the same iPad Air and you'll drop the monthly cost down to £25. Prices monthly remain the same and with 15GB of data for the 32GB and 64GB models, but prices up front then start from £219 and £289 respectively. And of course, these prices will include 4G LTE when Three launches it sometime in December.

If you're OK with buying your iPad Air outright – either from Apple or from Three – then you're open to a pretty good 10GB 1-month rolling contract for just £15 per month. The iPad Air will go on sale both online and in-stores at Three tomorrow, November 1. The iPad mini with Retina Display will follow later in November, though when is still anybodies guess. We'll update with pricing as and when we learn more. So, anyone buying this way?

Vitor Belfort would stop using TRT for shot at the title


Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) keeps Vitor Belfort from fighting in Las Vegas, Nev., but that could change though.


Coming off two "Knockout of the Night" finishes over top-ranked middleweights Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold, "The Phenom" returns to the light heavyweight division to rematch former Pride champion Dan Henderson on Nov. 9 in Goiania, Brazil.


His decision to decline a bout against Tim Kennedy and move up to fight Henderson at 205 was made after he realized he had done enough to earn another title shot in the middleweight division. The only chance he returns to the Octagon at 185 pounds would be in a championship fight.


The Nevada State Athletic Commission won’t allow Belfort to use TRT in Las Vegas, once he tested positive in the state back in 2006 for an illegal substance, 4-hydroxytestosterone, in his first fight with Henderson. That’s one of the reasons why he hasn’t fought there since his first-round knockout loss to Anderson Silva.


However, Belfort revealed in an interview to UOL that he was already on the testosterone replacement therapy when he fought Silva, back in 2011.


"I’ve (been doing this) for three years," Belfort said. "I did some exams and they saw I had low testosterone levels. The doctor said ‘Vitor, we need to do something. I don’t know if you agree with this, but it’s important that you do it.’ And it was done."


"If you has something, if you need something, do it the right way. That’s what I do. I do blood tests all the time… It’s a process that you have to do."


Belfort wants to fight the winner or Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva, who meet at UFC 168, and he would accept to stop using TRT if that’s one of the conditions on him earning the shot at the gold.


"I’ve already said that, if they agree with it, I would (stop doing TRT)," he said. "No problem at all. If they want me to get there in a disadvantage, that’s ok.


"But they already told me that’s not the problem," he continued. "UFC told me ‘you can’t get in there in disadvantage.’ The thing is, I’m in normal testosterone levels with TRT. That’s the treatment. People don’t seem to understand that I’m the only guy that does blood tests. Many fighters don’t do this, many use illegal stuff and are not tested like I am. I’m tested all the time. Week after week, month after month. I have to keep the levels normal to make it fair."

Lindsay Ellingson Heats Up UNICEF Masquerade Ball

She’s always a welcome sight to behold, and last night (October 30) Lindsay Ellingson was scorching hot at the 4th Annual UNICEF Masquerade Ball in New York City.


The 28-year-old SoCal cutie donned a flirty mask and worked the arrivals area at The Angel Orensanz Foundation in a shimmery navy gown with a gold underlay and long train prior to the festivities.


Lindsay has been preparing for the forthcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show since September, and unlike other Angels, she’s not worried about being skinny.


She told press, "I like to add curves. I think it's sexier and more feminine to be more full. So, I add like almond butter, peanut butter, protein shakes to my diet, just to feel a little sexier and curvier. I also step up my workouts. But I try not to stress about it because that's never good."

‘Labor Day’ Trailer (Video) Starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin

Watch the first trailer of Jason Reitman’s ‘Labor Day,’ a drama starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin as characters who find themselves in an intriguing and seemingly improbable love relationship. ‘Labor Day’ was written and directed by Jason Reitman (‘Thank You for Smoking,’ Up in the Air’). It is a screen adaptation of the critically acclaimed literary novel of the same title by Joyce Maynard, who is also the author of the memoir, ‘At Home in the World,’ which revealed her relationship with the late J.D. Salinger. As with the novel, the movie begins in the year 1987 on Labor Day weekend. Notably deglamorized, the Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet portrays Adele Wheeler, a depressed and reclusive divorced single mother of a 13-year-old son, Henry, who is portrayed by Gattlin Griffith. Per chance while out on a rare shopping trip, Adele and Henry meet up with a stranger, Frank Chanbers, who is portrayed by Josh Brolin. With more than a bit of hesitation, she gives the man, who is ragged looking and bleeding from his forehead, a ride home. After she has taken him in to stay in the house, he reveals that he is both a convicted murderer and a [...]Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RightCelebrity/~3/MVvK2coZrAQ/
