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.

    Apple is glad to see such free advertising! This is consumerism crap, not slashdot-worthy "stuff that matters" content...
