iPad UK release delayed again

Bored of the iPad yet? It isn't even out yet, and the British release date has been pushed back even further. Although you can still pre-order your Apple tablet computer, you won't be swiping your sticky fingers over its glossy face until 7 June.

The pre-order page on Apple's Web site now reads the new date, a full ten days after the planned 28 May release date -- which was itself pushed back from the original April release. 

If you've already pre-ordered, don't worry: you'll still get your iPad on 28 May. We think Apple has sold its first batch to red-hot early adopters like you and is waiting for more stock.

That means many British Apple fans won't be using their iPad as a skateboard any time soon, but it does give us exta time to weigh up the best 3G tariffs from Vodafone, Orange and O2. Hardware prices start at £430 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model, and go up to £700 for the 64GB 3G version.

That has been today's iPad news. More soon, no doubt.
