You have already heard all about the iPad, heard about what it can offer, and surely heard that some are calling it a netbook killer. The cheapest ipad model retails at £439 in the UK. The same version in the US costs just $499 (£337). To order your ipad simply visit the Apple store and order your ipad today.
Part of the difference in price is due to British VAT and US sales tax. The same model before tax costs £37 ($55) more in the UK.


With all of that information you are probably still wondering if shelling out for this brand new device is really worth it. To help you decide if the new technology is worth your hard earned money, here is a full iPad review that will show you what the iPad does and how it could benefit you.
