New model due out in the spring apparently.
If you only need the current spec model, it might be worth waiting.
At least that's what I'm doing.

Apple pretty much price fix, even staff don't get you much discount.
I can get you 10% off one at comet, if that's any good?

As a wi-fi user, I was interested to discover that the £429 model is only $499 in the US. At today's rates, that's a £100 premium to buy it in the UK. Not great.
Only doable if you or someone you know picks one up for you as customs will hammer you if posted.

Remember that sales tax is not included in that $499, but 17.5% VAT is included in the £429. If you look at pre-tax prices, the difference is much smaller and varies with exchange rates.
If you are in the US, though, the iPads sold there are unlocked and a UK micro-SIM will drop straight in (to the 3G version, obviously).

I never knew that. Not so much difference then.

I was lucky that a friend brought me a 32gb/3G version back from Vegas, which worked out at just over £500, which saved me about £90, but don't risk it by post as you'll definitely get stung by customs.
Sorry that doesn't help I know, maybe that 10% off @ Comet would be a good deal tbh ?

Good for you. I was rather anti the ipad, but I'm beginning to see the sense. How do you find typing? better than the ipod touch for sure!

I was the same Dave, just couldn't see the point, but when I looked again, and thought just what I'd actually use a laptop for, it made perfect sense tbh.
I took it abroad a couple of time on business in Nov, and it was a dream to use, very useful indeed, and so intuitive.
Keypad is great, and the auto correct does exactly that, no probs at all.
I love it, - sure, it would perhaps be better if it took a USB and the OS let you store files etc, but hey, I can live without that.
I think you can 'unlock' them, but I haven't so far.
If it proves half as reliable as my iMac has for the last 3yrs, I,ll be a happy bunny.

I didn't see the point of the iPad myself. Would love an iPhone, but the iPad just didn't seem quite right somehow. However, had a nice play on one the other day at work and started to come round to the idea. Not ideal for what I want really, but I think I might just have to treat myself to one this weekend.
