Price of an iPad in the UK

2 Months till the US launch and we know what the US ipad prices will be – 6 models ranging from $499 to $829. Apple hasnt released prices in £ yet and many are doing some heavy guessing.

The US is famous for just replacing the $ sign with a £ sign and trousering the difference. That wont work this time. Intercontinental shipping has caught up with the times.

Pound vs Euros iPad

Of special interest to us is not what the £ price will be, but what the Euro price of an Ipad will be. Will there be a significant difference that will see us nipping off to France for a Euro iPad?

iPad prices in Pounds

Macworld has a go at pricing based off the conversion factors of the iPhone:

iPad Wifi £388 for the 16GB iPad, £510 for the 32Gb iPad and £590 for the 64 GB iPad

iPad wifi + 3G £490 for teh 16GB iPAd, £612 for the 32GB iPAd and £693 for the 64Gb iPad

iPad Operators

Once we know the price then comes the sticky bit about who the network operators will be. Pray that its not an “exclusive” like the US AT&T iPhone deal which has left a slew of unhappy customers over long term tie in deals. Its unlikelyto be a single partner across the hwoel of Europe, but lets hope theres more choice than just O2 and Orange

Apple Ipad Release dates – US

The US will be the first country to get the iPad rolled out, surely to be followed shortly by the UK.

Although all of us here at buyanipad.co.uk will be getting US iPads shipped to the UK asap!

When is the iPad available in the UK? Soon (tm)

Official Apple US iPad Release Dates

April 2010 – some commentators saying it will be out in March. Apple does like to underpromise and over deliver so they may well have set a date further out than they need to, to spring a nice early iPad surprise.

Seems that the 3G version will take longer to come onto the market. We expect the first iPads released to sell out and there to be a wait for replenishment

•Price level: $499 USD, 399 EUR

iPad accessories with a twist -thoughts on El Reg’s review

Why Apple didn’t design this functionality into the iPad initially I dont know, maybe they want a few more shillings for their work, or they targeted an price point of $499 and Steve Jobs said lets make everything else an iPad add on

The Ipad Keyboard Dock Accessory

The normal sardonic roundup from the boys at El Reg http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2010/01/28/ipad_accessories/

Apples own iPad accessories

iPad Keyboard Dock – at $69 (£42) its got an iPad power feed andspeaker connection. The iPad Keyboard Dock is a docking cradle attached to a nice Apple Qwerty keyboard

iPad Camera Connection Kit – at $29 (£18) for the two connectors, tehCamera Connector lets USB cables attach to the iPad and the SD Card Reader lets the iPad use external memory cards

Carry an Ipad in comfort

Etsy has a cloth case for the iPad $22 (£14), very retro and hippy but likely to help stop you getting your iPad stolen. Not sure who wants to buy an Apply Shiny and then hide it away!

Griffin Accessories have released Flexi Grip and Elan passports – a grip cover and filofax respectively

Apple has also released its official iPad case $40 (£30) which folds into some pretty funky postions to hold the iPad for watching video or at an angle to use the keyboard
