Yet 3 weeks away from selling it, they still arnt giving a price.
$499 = £499 for the 16gb. I really hope this isn't the case.

I'd grab one from the US but I just splashed out on a load of home AV 
Can't have everything I suppose!
Might get one in a few months once the missus has forgotten how much I've just spent!

Anyone know if the 3G version will accept the normal data sim that is currently in my Mobile Broadband Dongle.
I don't want to have to take out another data subscription for the iPad, it would be much simpler if I can use the one I have in the iPad and also then put it back into the dongle to use with my netbook.

They use the new micro sims I think dont they? Seem to remember this being mentioned when the iPad was announced.
They do,
I read on engadget that there essentially the same except the case (plastic bit) is bigger, you can chop them down and use them.
There must be a guide on the net showing how to do it.
EDIT:
As OS4 isnt coming to iPad till the "fall", which sounds to me like around the same time that the iPods are going to get updated to whatever the new iPhone gets, kind of smells like other updates to me.

Looks like a good toy for me, I love my iPod touch. I hated apples control freak approch and iTunes.
I've been looking at the current prices on the bay and quite tempted to get a US import if it's at the right price.
Are there any drawbacks or issues with getting a US import? Would it cause any problems with warranty or if I need to take to a UK Apple Store?
Thanks.

The warranty is worldwide, but obviously it can't be fixed in the UK until the device is released over here.
I've just read somewhere that apparently the UK iPad App Store isn't live yet so you cannot download apps straight to an iPad, you need to use iTunes to download and then sync the apps.
This doesn't bother me as long as it all works happily after the UK launch

look forward to your Ian 'Write' up, been waiting for this for what seems like ages
woops on the spelling if you can deal with bad spelling then the write up will be fine if not dont read it lol
Cheers for the info, then searched for it and found it to be correct, the iPad will use Micro Sims. Thats a real pain as it mean I'll need to take out another data sim package to run one. Seems no really good reason why they did this, apart from maybe working with the operators to stop people swapping sims around as I was planning on doing.
