Could you get a holder for a microsim and use a pair of scissors to prune down the big sim?

Do you think at some later point British libraries will be online lending out e-books ?

I hope so. There is a trial going on at the moment.

Our local library does do ebooks and audiobooks - but the selection is pretty dire.

We're trialling a similar system at Loughborough for books in the university library...

interesting, can see it being very useful for reference, etc.
May actually reduce the amount of paper around the house :)

Think I'll be patient about this and wait until UK release (it's only another month after all).

Don't forget the import duty and VAT though...

Not heard anything from Bundle box yet, you needed a US credit card, so they had to buy it for me, so I don't get the Apple emails.

They said if it arrives on Saturday, they can't ship until Monday (even though they work Saturday the couriers aren't that weekend). Fastest delivery option would have it her for Wednesday 6th.

You would have thought they'd have announced pricing/preorder by now?

I am a little surprised there is still no price or release date for Europe / UK but I suppose they are getting the home launch out of the way before anything further...
