Fucking Apple. I guess those rumours about them fucking up the manufacturing were true

For folks uh-broad—Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK—both vanilla Wi-Fi and 3G models are launching simultaneously in "late April."

On the plus side I'll have no excuse to cheap out and not get the version with GPS now

On the bright side it’ll give the rest of the world a heads up on any problems with the iPad before buying, this is a new product from apple after all

Thanks. Massively tempting, but as I intend to buy it through the my company it's probably better to wait or import it as a single unit somehow for the paperwork aspects...

Not far after mine either

Will the delay give me time to sober up from the Apple intoxication or just serve to further it? Hmm.

For the moment it looks like some of that pocket-burning money will be going towards SSD or something...

Well it's not like a few extra weeks will matter much

. Same thing happened with the iPod touch, and IIRC there were problems with the initial batch then with some of the screens being a bit dodgy which were sorted by the time they released it in the UK. Not sure whether to preorder or just buy in the shops - I also remember that I preordered my Touch and it actually came out in the shops a couple of days before my preordered one arrived.

put me down in the "just in time for my birthday" crew too!

May 21st here, guys, and I'll be 42 so it's a special one. Which one of you is going to buy it for me?

I see somewhere Jobsy has said it wont tether via wifi with an iPhone

I presume a jailbroken iphone would be ok ?
