iPad 2 UK Launch

[Ian]

The iPad 2 launches tomorrow in the UK. It's available online from 1am on the 25th March 2011 from the Apple.com store or you can buy it in-store from 5PM (Apple Stores, Currys, PC World and the usual bunch)...

The new iPad generally gets a good reception and seems to beat the current stock of competing tablet computers, but this could all change in the coming months as Android tablets start to appear in number.

Here's a selection of reviews:

Do Want!

Do you think you'll get one?

I think I may do, as I've got lots of waiting on trains and travelling for the next few months, so this could keep me occupied!

Am very tempted, didn't get the first gen coz i wanted to see what they did with the second...
