Customers in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK can finally pick up their shiny new tablet that Apple fanatics across the Atlantic have been so actively championing these past few weeks. The iPad will be stocked in 139 Currys and PC World stores across the UK today which could provide a welcome alternative to queuing outside the Apple Store.
Pricing might come as a bit of a blow to some fans though, as the iPad has come out a little worse for wear after a fight over currency conversion. The Wi-Fi only, 16GB model translates from $500 to a hefty £429; a good £90 premium for the privilege of living in the UK.
In an attempt to to steal a march on Apple's iPad ahead of today's UK launch - Dell announced on Tuesday that their Android-powered mini tablet, the Dell Streak, will be released on O2 in early June.
The Streak will be available exclusively on O2 in 'early June', although an exact release date has not been confirmed. Price and tariff details will also be announced soon, O2 said.
