Apple plans to release iPad in Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore in July. Apple will announce availability, local pricing and pre-order plans for these nine additional countries at a later date.
If pre-orders are being taken from Monday next week, how come O2, Orange and Vodafone 3G data-plan details have yet to be released? Anyone else worried by this?
It could well be higher than the nominal £15/250MB & £29.99/Unlimited UK/US price ripoff!
Nearer £25 & £50, if no deal can be make by Apple.
“How is that “laughable” with VAT at 19% in Germany and more expensive warranty regulations on top of that? (Mandatory manufacturer’s warranty is 12 months, plus another 12 months of mandatory dealer’s warranty under less stringent rules.)”
Coming to the USA unless we toss these turds that are terrorizing tax payers.
@ron
you may want to think about moving to the US too. There are some considering a VAT here too. Given the American appetite for more government goodies and low taxes, and then we borrow money from everywhere, our financial condition is about as sound as…..I won’t say Greece, but how about Liverpool FC?
Limited quantities may have led them to higher prices figuring the demand from the affluent will be hard enough to meet anyhow. Plenty of opportunities to lower prices as production ramps up.
@contrarian
Spain and Greece are completely out of money, not Italy (yet

I am in the UK and yes I do plan on buying myself an iPad, it’ll be the 16GB with wifi & 3G.
The only problem is I’ll have to wait until September!!
Sell them in Greece. No worries, the Germans and other Europeans will pay for them.
Canadian dollar at or close to par with US dollar, and we get charged $50.00 more across the board? Along with the higher sales tax? Give me a break! Only cost me about 20 bucks in gas to go to Buffalo.
Going to Rome in September, going to sell my 64Gb wifi iPad in italy while I’m there, then come home and hopefully buy a back to school upgrade version…
As macaholic stated, the Canadian dollar is at or near par with the US dollar. I don’t understand Apple’s decision to charge 10% more in Canada.
@Left Coast Dude… watching your auction on Ebay now to see if I upgrade now instead of later…
Those Australian prices are pretty much as expected. A quick conversion shows the 16GB Wi-Fi is almost equal to the US price, once you take local sales tax into consideration.
So can we assume they will ship on the 28th?
PS The code for the Australian dollar is AUD not AUS.
@contrarian, “you may want to think about moving to the US too.”
I moved to the USA over 50 years ago, after leaving school at 15, made it big, and retired well off. I’m glad I escaped from England and socialism. ‘The Big O’ (Oaf) is trying to condemn this great country the gutter of the world with the rest of the dictators and communists.
Now ask me what I really think.
SB – to the gutter.
Does anyone have an official link to these prices (or have they been pulled)? I see no reference here

does anyone know at what time on the 10th does the pre-orders start in the uk as i don’t want to have to wait longer than i have too.
I don’t have any money now. I will wait for the iPad 2g :p
