New iPad for China by Apple

Apple has said it will start selling the new iPad in China on 20 July, after it settled a dispute involving rights to the "iPad" name in the country.

Apple agreed to pay $60m (£38m) earlier this month to the Chinese firm Proview which claimed it had registered the name in 2000.

The dispute lead to Apple's tablet computers being taken off the shelves in some parts of China.

Apple said in a statement that the new iPad will start at $499 and the older iPad 2 will be on sale for $399.
