The iPad Mini with Retina Display has barely been pushed into the wild through Apple. Now carriers have started announcing the official availability of the device on their network.

US Cellular has just reported it was offering the iPad Mini with Retina Display Wi-Fi+Cellular on a range of attractive data plans for customers. Shoppers are given the opportunity of connecting to the carrier’s fast 4G LTE network, by acquiring the product.

Shoppers can purchase the 16GB model in Space Gray or White for $529 / €320, the 32GB model is up for order for $629 / €464, the 64GB bears a price tag of $729 / €538 while the 128GB costs $829 / €612 (all with a 2-year plan that allows tapping into the company’s LTE network.)

A quick look on the company’s website, indicates that the iPad mini 2 is backordered, but customers are assured they can still place an order. When the product becomes available shoppers will be notified via email.
