Apple to ship 3G iPad to UK in April Tweet

The manufacturer is thought to be in talks with Orange and O2 about ranging the device.

Apple will start shipping the 3G version of its iPad to the UK in late April, with the wi-fi version launched in March.

The manufacturer revealed the dates on its website. It has not announced pricing, although in the US, the 3G version is available for around £500.

Apple is understood to be in talks with the operators about ranging the device, with O2 and Orange thought to be likely frontrunners.

The iPad has a 10-inch touch-screen, no keyboard and will allow users to surf the web, watch TV programmes and read digitised magazines and newspapers.

Apple has also launched an ebook store – the iBookstore – in a bid to take on Amazon and Sony by allowing ebook downloads to the device.
