iPad users in the United States are getting ripped off in how much they are paying for data on the device, says a company that has compared monthly data plans for the magical Apple device across different wireless carriers worldwide.

American users pay some of the highest prices in terms of dollars per gigabyte (GB) of data on the iPad, says Tableau Software, which created an amazing interactive chart (above) to show this.

Hong Kong and Singapore, which have the cheapest data rates for the iPad, have plans priced at less than one-twentieth the cost per gigabyte that U.S. users pay.

Looks like the iPad isn't the only thing that's overpriced for Apple fanboi's.

Actually I pay $0 a month for my iPad data, because I tether it off my phone
