Apple's tweaked its iPad lineup Tuesday morning, bringing back the fourth-generation iPad with Retina display in place of the elderly iPad 2.

Available with only 16GB of storage, Apple's US Web site lists the comeback tablet with either Wi-Fi only for $399, or Wi-Fi and cellular for $529.

Apple CEO Tim Cook canned the Retina-enabled iPad last year when he launched the super-skinny iPad Air. The high-end iPad still starts at $499, while the Retina iPad Mini is still $399.

It makes your buying decision fairly straightforward: $300 for the older, smaller iPad Mini; $400 for the nicer Retina Mini or the older Retina iPad; or $500 for the whiz-bang iPad Air. Then add $100 to double the storage, and $130 to add cellular data.

The Retina iPad is £329 in the UK, A$529 in Australia and 389 euros in Europe for the Wi-Fi only model.

A new, cheaper version of the colorful plastic iPhone 5C also went on sale today, but so far it's only available in Europe, the UK, Australia and China.
