How did you pull no VAT? VAT is applicable on everything over £18 (or under IDK) but it should apply to the iPad.

*shrug* it just turned up at work today, no charges mentioned and no letter attached. USPS did seem to double box it though which may have made a difference.

Will be nice when it is released in the UK though due to content etc.
 
or, just live with the niggles until the UK launch and get it exchanged then? Not a big deal surely?

I've just bought a 64GB from eBay-meet 1/2 way tomorrow for handover or wait for RMSD on Saturday. My game plan is to cover it with Apple Care on UK launch & then I'm covered for repair if need be tho' not exchange as far as I know-will have copy of original receipt but I think it would be outside the 14 day exchange period depending perhaps on the mood of a store genius.

Decided it would be best & timesaving to just go for it & I find apple care just great for repairs.
 
Been so tempted to get one of these off eBay but so far resisted.

Trying to wait for the UK launch, had high hopes for something being said in the iPhone OS 4 event.

Just put OS 4 on my iPhone though so hopefully that will keep amused for a couple of days

A few years ago through eBay I bought an expensive Canon camera-the seller agreed to refund VAT or import dues-made me laugh when it arrived-the customs label said 'Happy Birthday' & referred to forgotten false teeth being enclosed-it worked!
 
just noticed the link for information on the iPad is no longer on the UK Apple Store page...

Pre Orders possibly beginning tomorrow?
 
Come on guys, Steve's remarks are getting echoed everywhere...have faith in the man! I would be really amazed if the date would change so late in the day...

Other notes of interest from the Q&A session, which also featured senior vice presidents Scott Forstall, iPhone software, and Phil Schiller, worldwide product marketing:

.....

* The iPad is still on track for an international launch in late April.
 
I've lost interest in the iPad for now to be honest. The new OS4.0 appears to have Grand Central Despatch integrated, and references to iChat. A multi-core iPhone with a front facing camera for video conference will do me just fine until Rev B iPad.

I doubt the next iPhone will be multicore, they Sap tomuch battery, add to that multitasking
 
told myself yesterday i'd stop worrying about when this stupid thing would come out.

then here i am at 8am refreshing this page every two minutes. :(
 
Well guys (& gals), another day of clicking 'refresh' on the Apple website has arrived..... Let's hope for some news today, I can feel it in the air! :p

Seriously, people there isn't going to be a whisper of news for at least another week. And when there is you'll get an email.

Just trying to save you some time and lower your blood pressure :)

What's this? I'm on the UK Apple page and there's an iPad tab at the top. There's loads of info about it, and there's a 'Notify Me' button where you can enter your email address. Seems like quite a lot of iPad stuff on the UK site!

The UK Apple store page. Not the UK Apple page.

There used to be a 'learn more about iPad' spot there, but it disappeared a week and half ago
 
unfortunately no. But were all hopeful (becoming despondent) that there will be some kind of update today given the 3 week lead in with the US. Fingers X'd

you know, even though you said you were joking i blatantly went to the apple site and confirmed it for myself

:(
