Hopefully! The release date should be a lot earlier than May for the wifi version also.

It looks like amazon have removed the pricing, I guess they jumped the gun.

I say aye aye!!

$499 = £308 going by todays exchange rate...
+17.5% VAT = £53.90

So total will be £361.90.

However, going by that method, the actual pricing for the most basic $999 MacBook, we should have it in the UK for £619 + VAT (£108.32) = £727.32. Although it retails here for £816, which is £88.68 MORE.

£88.68 is about 12.2% of the calculated £727.32. So if we add the same 12% to the calculated price of the iPad (£361.90), which is £43.42, which therefore equals £405.32.

And Apple will probably round this down to £399.

Apologies for my very sad tendencies, but you can now pretty much guarantee it's coming here for £399 or thereabouts now.

Far better maths and consideration than i even suggested to attempt.
£399 would be tickety-boo.

Nice maths. I hope you're correct - I am preparing myself for it to be £449, then I might be pleasantly surprised. Then of course, I'll fritter the 'saving' away on accessories and/or the higher capacity model

I read an article in the Guardian today which said that Apple themselves have stated that they will not announce the UK prices until it starts shipping in 58 days

The thing is, iPad or new iPhone (June-ish).
