Folks still scrambling to find a Mother's Day gift before Sunday may be interested to know that T-Mobile is currently running a promotion on iPads. For a limited time, the carrier is taking more than $100 off all iPad models including the Air 2, mini 3, and second-gen mini.

As always, there are a few stipulations. You can't just buy the tablet outright and receive the $100+ credit—you have to purchase it on an Equipment Installment Plan, and you must keep a 1GB+ Simple Choice Mobile Internet plan active and in good standing for 24 months.

Chen says the new agreement won't result in him wearing magenta shirts, but he concedes that it's the right move for both customers and shareholders. "Expanding availability of BlackBerry's products and services to T-Mobile's tens of millions of U.S. customers is an important step for us."
