British people have finally got a chance to purchase Apple's highly anticipated iPad, although the gadget has not been launched in the UK on an official basis.

The Apple iPad had been made available in the US the former week and had been able to sell no less than 300,000 gadgets on the first day.

Apple authorities have not yet made it official that the iPad would be available to hit UK shelves. The firm's website clearly declares that the device is coming in the later parts of April.

Two online sellers, Purelygadgets and Simply Electronics, have the gadget listed on their sites and assert that stock is presently available.

Purelygadgets is offering the three editions of the Wi-Fi iPad; 16, 32 or 64GB capacities valued at £689.99, £785.99 and £869.99 correspondingly. Delivery charges are listed at £5.

In the meantime, at Simply Electronics web users can grab the 16GB Wi-Fi iPad for £545.95, whereas the 32GB edition prices £649.95 and the 64GB model prices £749.95. All three are being offered with delivery for which people would not have pay at all.
