Lollerskates ,

Ok I may as well stay up another 15 mins and see if the store updates for pre-orders .

Have any of the networks offered any tariffs at all yet ?

Orange is the only one so far.

Does anyone know if there are any duty free apple stores in uk airports?

Edit - seems the answer is no

 

[Cavallino]

Don't think so.
But tbh, I dont think prices of Apple products would differ in airports as they are not really tax free?
But I am willing to be corrected on this if anyone knows better?

I'll be using this device as a cloud portal (yeah... I said cloud), ie, spotify, google apps, et al. Therefore 16gb will do fine.

Just need to decide on wifi or 3g.... mifi maybe.

 

[Cavallino]

What would be the advantage in going with Mifi btw?
I mean costwise it would be similar no? (Cause mifi costs £50 on PAYG?)

£50 less from initial capex, possibly nicer tariffs

 

[Cavallino]

a 3G version costs £70 more than a non 3G version right?

£100 for 16gb, £429 as opposed to £529? Unless I've read wrong. Going to go check now!

Ah! That is considerably more if that pricing is right!
I thought it was 429 vs 499 but again! Please correct me!

 

[Shaz]sigh[]

I was right, £100 more for 3G, the store came up then went down for about 30 secs.

 

[Cavallino]

Was gonna say when is the store coming on?

£100 for the 3G... hmm thats a lot
What to do.. what to do...

What you doing Shaz?

 

[pioneer2000]

What's everyone going to try and get then? Personally I'm feeling a 32gb 3g... purely as i'd rather have the option of 3g than realise I need it and can't have it.

Im thinking this too actually but 599

I've spent the day testing / using an app called Air Video.

Just bought Air Video and downloaded a copy of MakeMKV and was very surprised when it worked perfectly fine streaming a movie over 3g.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yep, £599 is obscene but knwoing Apple it's incredibly unlikely to drop in price over it's lifetime. If you wants, you have to pay!
