iPad UK Pricing Confirmed; Apple UK Tax Applied

Posted by kdawson on from the dig-deep dept.

The iPad will be available in the UK and eight other countries from 28 May 2010; both models will be available for pre-order on 10 May. Reader marcopolo007uk adds a note from iPad-Review.co.uk with pricing: "WiFi Models: 16GB / 32GB / 64GB — £429 / £499 / £599. 3G versions: 16GB / 32GB / 64GB — £529 / £599 / £699. These are a little higher than some had guessed... The Apple Tax stings the UK consumer again." At the current exchange rate, these prices are right around 150% of those offered in the US.

    Yes but this is an unbelievable, magical, amazing, revolutionary, gorgeous device. Surely that's gotta be worth something.

    At least we didn't change ours because the person who wrote the dictionary didn't like the spellings.
