Brits will be able to see what the fuss is about from May 28
iPad UK pricing and release date finally revealed . Hardware, iPad, Apple, Apple iPad, Internet tablets 0

The price break down for the Apple iPad’s UK launch has been revealed, at long last, after weeks of rumour and speculation. It turns out that the figures being touted about in web land have turned out to be pretty much on the money, although that does mean that we’re having to pay more than our American cousins.

The cheapest iPad you can get is the 16GB Wi-Fi only version for ?429 – that’s a considerable difference from the $499 (?340) that the same iPad would cost you State-side. The 32GB Wi-Fi version is ?499 and the 64GB one is ?599. In the US these are? ?408 and ?475 respectively.

For the 3G versions the prices are ?529 for the 16GB, ?599 for the 32GB and ?699 for the 64GB. Across the pond these are ?428, ?496 and ?564 meaning that if you went for top-end iPad, the 64GB Wi-Fi and 3G version, you’ll be paying over ?130 more than you would if you were buying one in America. Of course, we haven’t accounted for State-to-State sales tax (and any kind of import duty this end), but it would still be a hefty difference.

It’s not all bad news though as Apple has confirmed that iBooks will be available to download free from iTunes on May 28, which is iPad launch day. It was rumoured that we might not be getting this for a while.

Pre-orders open Monday May 10 direct from the Apple Store. Get in quick to avoid disappointment.

Is this a fair price for the iPad? Are the differences in prices simply due to a weak pound or is Apple taking us for a ride? Let us know using the comments below.
