Does anyone know of a legit place to order these now? They were released in the states last week I believe, so some company must ship them over here now? |

No, because it's not for educational purposes like a laptop. |

well without flash, a large amount of streaming websites are useless. No iPlayer either? So i guess watching ripped films is ok, photos and so forth. Not many apps I have seen yet to make it essential. |

A sopcast type app would be awesome for watching streamed footy, as well as an iplayer app as like HW kinda mentioned. |

Was gonna get a 32gb wi-fi iPad but decided to wait for the new iPhone. It's nice but decided ultimately my use for it wouldn't justify the price. |

Pre-order on now. Are you going for one? I was just about to order one, but I resisted. The way I see it, I was originally going for the £429 basic 16GB/Wifi model. But you add £30 onto that for the case, and you're looking at £460. But although I won't have any music on there, when I start adding some videos (which will have to be pretty high resolution, too), photo libraries, and cbr, and then when apps start to take up more and more space, 16GB starts to look a bit weedy. So add £70 onto that for the 32GB version, because I don't want to be left with the 16GB version if it turns out it's not enough. But then, I have this wonderful piece of kit with a great web browser and plenty of apps requiring internet access, so wouldn't it be nice to be able to use it anywhere, even if I don't have a wifi connection? And I don't want to buy a wifi model and then discover it's useless to me without 3G. So yes, it's an extra £100 for that. Plus a monthly charge. In the end, it's over 600 quid for this thing. 600 quid. Fuck. I came to my senses and closed the browser window. I think I'm going to sit this one out, but buckly most probably. |

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2010/05/10/o2_vodafone_ipad_mobile_broadband_deals/ Throw another £10 PCM from O2 for the 3G it seems, at least you get the BT openzone wifi for that as well. As phelen says the 3G is really useful when out and about, guess you could get by with 16GByte, but as its not upgradeable 32GByte is the sweet spot for music and films. so your talking £720 to run it for 1 year = £60 PCM (at least the contract is only 30 days) compared to iphone 3GS http://shop.o2.co.uk/promo/iphoneindex £60 PCM gets you a iphone 3GS 32GByte with unlimited everything (24s months) for at home use, I can see no point using the ipad when I already have a laptop and a desktop PC. For on the move use I already have a HTC desire (free - work) and a Iphone 3G 16GB Unless I want to see something big (eg films, photos) on the move, or to take to show someone else those items and the 17" laptop is too big to carry, then the iPad has some use. £60 PCM for that purpose is a bit niche. Rather use the cash to get a 4G iphone in late june. |

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2010/05/10/review_tablet_apple_ipad_16gb/page5.html iplayer doesn't work currently. No GPS, so not much use for map reading on the move. list of uses keeps dropping down. |
