Well now that it is getting close to the release of the Apple iPad 2 it appears some are looking to shift remaining stock of the old Apple iPad to make way for the expected boom in sales for the latest Apple iOS tablet.

According to an article over on the Boy Genius Report, AT&T is following in the footsteps of Apple and has dropped the asking price of the original Apple iPad by some 100 bucks, both online and in their retail stores.
