Apple iPad UK Prices
The Apple iPad - $499 - this equates to around around £308 if we were to actually believe that Apple would keep the price equal for UK consumers, but we're gonna get ripped off realistically. The $599 Mac Mini equates to £510, which makes the exchange rate according to Apple being £1 = $1.17451 (hardly competitive considering the real exchange rate is $1.60+ now). If the same rule is applied the basic iPad would retail at about £425. £399 seems like the magic price point for Apple though and £349 would be much better for consumers and would significantly boost sales.
The Apple iPad Case - $39 for which is essentially a folder, will equate to around £35 UK price
The iPad Dock - $29 for a fancy stand in the US, £25 will be the UK price.
The iPad Dock + Keyboard Combo - $69 for the keyboard and dock combo, this will retail for about £59 UK price.
iWork Apps - $10 per app in the US, this will likely retail for £10 in the UK per app.
iPad Camera Connection Kit - $29 in the US for both adapters, this will retail for about £25 UK price.
Well, got to say we were right. The iPad isn't retailing at exactly £425 but at £429...come on, pretty close!
