Pope's iPad fetches US$30,500 at auction

An iPad that belonged to Argentina-born Pope Francis went under the hammer for US$30,500 on Tuesday (Apr 14), auctioneers in Uruguay said.
Montevideo-based auction house Castells said the winning bid was placed by telephone. Local media threw a spotlight on the iPad last year.
The pope gave it - complete with its His Holiness Francis label and a Vatican certificate of authenticity - to an Uruguayan priest as a gift. It ended up being donated to a local school by the priest, before being auctioned off to raise money.
