iPad

Well, the store's back. No sign. Sigh.

Just discovered my company has a corporate 5% discount at the Apple store. That might come in useful...

Stores back up. No iPads, just MBPs as expected

Can't believe the 13inch is still Core 2 Duo, looks like they've bumped the price on the 15inch models too.

Fairly sure they've bumped the bottom-end 13-inch price too. Doubled the RAM, 90GB HD increase, new GPU (still shared RAM though).

Most annoyed there's still no news on the iPad though (to keep this slightly on topic ).

Lack of price is irritating possibly due to negotiations on 3g contracts?
Still would like to know just how much it'll be

[WiteWulf]

The way things just went with the MBPs I wouldn't expect much change out of £450 for the entry-level device...

I was always budgeting for about 400 ish

I want to take my iPad on a business trip and it's a bit early to know which case to get for my iPad, or at least what is good based on the tat on eBay. I want some sort of rubberised thin cover.

I have just found that the netbook sleeve I got form Dealextreme is going to work a treat for keeping it unscratched in my bag. Yours for only $4.22 delivered worldwide!

I am using that exact item - already had one I used to lug my external Lacie drive around in.

Nice but not quite stylish enough

I've got a very similar sleeve for my Mini9, albeit with the rather natty addition of a stylised dragon design on it

Mine is from our Mini 9 too. It never leaves the sitting room, so not really needed there.

Will do until I find something more appropriate or I spring for the overpriced official one should it ever get released here (much like the iPad...)

Not too keen on leather, but this looks nice (and functional)

For $60 may as well get the apple one?

May be okay with some kind of skin for general use, and just use the neoprene thing for travel. It's not going to leave the house much.

the incase one (unlike Apple's) won't get desk-dirt on a surface that will sometimes be flush against your screen

Not quite sure how it differs?
