If you like the idea of flashing an Apple iPad around Blighty before the rest of the fanboys and girls but would rather not have to fly stateside to make it so then here’s the answer my gadgety faithful.
Slip in your order to www.bundlebox.com from right now because pre-ordering is now on over the pond. No need to wait for that pesky UK release date!
BundleBox, if you’re not familiar with the name, was set up by former Google exec Andre Schmidt last year and lets UK consumers buy from any US website. It’s basically an online transatlantic shopping service that lets us in the UK register for a free USA postal address meaning that we can sign on to the pre-order service despite the current US residency restriction.
Just simply sign up to Bundlebox, select its ‘Buy for Me’ service and order and pay for your iPad.
Because the iPad counts as an “automatic data processing machine” under customs rules, it’s import duty free – which all adds up to the 16GB WiFi version costing £465.20, including all shipping costs and VAT.
Tempted? Or are you thinking about buying a different tablet?

Yup – I’m downloading as I type.
Ubisoft has released the multiplayer edition of Assassin’s Creed II for iPhone, and it’s completely free to download for the first two days! Beautiful!
Don’t be expecting a friend frenzy version of the original Assassin’s Creed II iPhone game though.
This is a birds-eye view sneak fest and not the glossy 3D full console game featuring voice actors and all that.
You still have to rely on stealth and go around assassinating folk; but the great thing is that you’ll be playing against real-life opponents. You can play against up to three other players over Wi-Fi. Nice
Ignoring the graphics and the change of view the gameplay is pretty much the same as you’ve come to know and love. You can sneak around in crowds to avoid being seen before pouncing on opponents before they do the same to you.
All this sneaking and general assassininininin with 3 of your buddies doing exactly the same should give this mobile game some depth and longevity.
As I mentioned earlier, if you spring over to the app store within the next day and a half you get Assissin’s Creed II: Multiplayer for free
After that it’ll cost you £1.79.
