Apple’s iPad hit the UK market today

Yesterday afternoon, the crowds started to gather near the Apple Stores on Regent Street in order to catch the release of Apple’s iPad in Britain.

The launch of the iPad in the US created a much more buzz than the launch of the iPhone, and the numbers say it all : 1 million iPhones sold in 78 days, 1 million iPads sold in 28 days. The same could happen in the UK while large numbers of people shared their interest in this device.

However, people waiting for the store to open its doors have not been the first UK’s owners of the iPad, there are many folks that already bought it from US market or even pre-ordered the device and received it yesterday, one day before the official launch. The social networks like Twitter and Facebook were bombed yesterday with messages from the ones that already received it. It seems that due to the large demand of this gadget, numerous people standing at the line to buy one will leave disappointed since the supplies will run out in a short time.

The iPad, with a 9.7 inch screen, comes with a 16GB of storage, for the entry-level model, with a £429 price. On the other hand, the most expensive model, featuring a 64GB of storage and 3G mobile phone network comes with a price of £699.

For this « mobile phones and laptops gap filler », as Steve Jobs called the iPad, the biggest mobile phone operators in the UK like Orange and Vodafone have released some special data fees so that users can enjoy the 3G features everywhere, of course, with the high-end iPads that support this connection.

UK is not the single place where iPad hit the shelves, similar crowds also taking place in Berlin, Sydney, Tokyo or Paris, ensuring another success story for the creator of iPhone, Apple.

The iPad was also launched in many other countries around the world today, with similar queues being seen in Berlin, Paris Tokyo and Sydney.
