[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 993877, member: 61193"] Sadly I think we will get screwed by Apple on exchange rates, as we always are. On the other hand, Apple stuff is awesome. I suppose it might be even more awesome in the US, but there you go - you take what you can get. :Smirk: As for the iPad, still undecided at present. First thoughts - YES, I want one. Second thoughts - it is just a large screen iTouch or iPhone (without 3G or with, respectively). It will be a lot more expensive over here. Also, it often unwise to buy the Mark I of anything. Nevertheless, I still want one. It might just the equivalent of a Kindle DX, but I already have a Kindle2 and I am sorely tempted to buy a Kindle DX as well. I am just a sucker for gadgets. The iPad might discourage me from buying a DX, but I am almost certain to buy one or the other. Kindle Dx or iPad? No contest. So...... do we wait for a 3G one or just go for the WiFi one? ;D Edit - Bear in mind the Kindle has only just become available in the UK - and even that is from Amazon.com, not Amazon.co.uk - and with some eBooks not available outside the US and Canada. I expect the same will apply with iPad. There is no way that Apple can afford to restrict the eBooks to US/Canada, when the Kindle sells to UK as well. :) [/QUOTE]
