iPad UK Launch Date Now Announced for Saturday 29th May 2010?

After the release of the iPad in the US early this month, the tech world have been hot on their trails for find out when we could expect the iPad to released in the UK and the rest of Europe.

Previous rumours and speculations suggested that the Apple iPad could be released on April 24th, however it would appear that news from the official UK Apple website suggests that you will have to wait a lot longer before you can spend you hard earned pennies on an Apple iPad lovely.

If you visit the UK Apple website, you will find that Apple have stated ‘Coming Late May. Pre-Order on May 10th’ compared to what we had predicted as the end of March.

Now on one hand we can sit and groan about the fact that we will have to wait yet another month before we can get our hands on the iPad, however on the other hand let’s salute Apple for putting us out of our misery and announcing some sort of date that we can add to our diaries.

So with Apple announcing that pre-orders are set for May 10th, when can we expect an official release date? Well if we follow the same pattern as the iPad release date in the US with the official day falling on Saturday, I predict that we could see the official release date of the Apple iPad being Saturday May 29th 2010. Of course at the moment this is just my prediction, however it be interesting to also see if any Apple employees in the UK have been told if there is a specific blackout period for holidays in May and whether they can back up my prediction.

What do you think will be the official release of the Apple iPad? Do you think we will see it hit stores on Saturday 29th of May or do you know different?  Leave us a comment and let us know what you think…

iPad UK Launch Date Expected for Saturday April 24th with Pre-Orders Coming Soon?

Although the Apple iPad was officially launched in the US on Saturday, it is predicted that the iPad frenzy and excitement is set to continue for a very long time. So as the folk in the US enjoy their Apple-tastic loveliness we call the iPad, the rest of the world is still waiting in baited breath for an official announcement of a release date for the iPad.

Last week it was leaked that Apple employees in the Canada were told that April 24th would be black out period for them in taking a holiday that day, which did make us think that this could be the official international launch date of the Apple iPad. Well, it would appear that the rumours and the leaked information keep on coming in thick and fast.

According to the folks over at Bitter Wallet, UK Apple employees have been told that they can’t take a holiday on April 24th, which could only mean that they are set to be a very busy that day due to an imminent iPad launch. In addition to this the rumoured launch date does fall on a Saturday, which does follow the same pattern as the US iPad launch.

So when can we expect pre-orders? The US were able to pre-order their iPad 3 weeks before the launch date, however we have only over 2 weeks before the launch date of the rumoured Apple iPad to international waters, so does this either mean that we could see people being able to pre-order the iPad in the next couple of days or could we expect the Apple iPad’s UK launch date be pushed back by another week to follow the same pre-order pattern as the US?

With all these dates and speculations when do you think the UK will see the official launch date of the Apple iPad? Will you be buying one when it hits the stores in the next few weeks? Are you a US customer and already have an iPad? Leave us a comment and let us know what you think…
