Apple iPad UK Release Date Clarified

by Jay Garrett on March 8, 2010

Apple has almost come up with a definite UK release date for their iPad.

Where stateside gadgety fans will be able to pounce on the new Wi-Fi tablet on April 3rd and the 3G version later the same month we in the UK will get both by the end of April.

US customers can pre-order the Wi-Fi models from 12 March, but not so for us in Blighty – we can’t pre-release purchase at all.

Apple has also said that the iBooks app and iBookstore will be available in the US on 3 April, with “additional countries added later this year”. I’m hoping that the land of the Union Flag will also be getting this, even though there’s indications to the contrary, as surely this is one of the major selling points of the iPad – or am I still confused?

Voda iPhone – Another Network Joins O2 and Orange to Sell Apple iPhones

by Jay Garrett on September 29, 2009

vodafone iphoneFollowing on from yesterday’s news that Orange will be flogging Apple’s iPhone soon here in the UK Vodafone has gloved-up in the red corner.

Vodafone has announced this morning that it will sell both the iPhone 3G and 3GS in the UK and Ireland in “early 2010″.

Vodafone, just like Orange, is still playing things close to its chest regarding costs.

So – another network joining in can only be good news for us, the buyer as this must surely start a pricing battle.

It is only fair, as I showed yesterday how O2 and Orange weigh up in the 3G coverage stakes, to show Vodafone’s UK coverage as well – so, check the gallery pic :)

Why not pad over to Voda’s Web site and register your interest?
