Zero. It likely won't ship for at least a few days so you might not see it for a week.
ack... looks like i'll be queing somewhere then! lol
one things for sure.. this thread is gonna take off right now...
i expect at least 100 pages come friday!!
Looks like my strategy is going to be:
1.Order online at 1am
2.Check Argos/Comet/Currys to see if I can reserve myself the model I want at a local store.
3. If 2 fails then I will be walking around town (after work) to see if I can be lucky and nab myself one from the highstreet.

Interesting. Pretty confusing how it shows the prices in USD, though..
Definitely going to be queuing up at the Liverpool ONE store at at least 12pm.
What's annoying is that by the time you finish queueing, there's not much time to go looking around the other shops before they close.
Good call, they are all the same res though so a total would be;
3Ds = 1920 x 1440
iPad 2 = 1920 x 1360
Round 1 - iPad2, Game Over!
Both still cr*p anyway.

I'll be looking for where there arnt any queues. I'll probably only queue up at the apple store if the queue isn't too large as they will probably have the largest quantity of units delivered to them.

So just to confirm:
iPad 2 will go on sale in the UK on 25th March at 5pm.
iPad 2 WiFi 32GB = £479
Also pricing of Smart Covers/HDMI Out accessory?

7 hour wait at the Trafford Centre on Friday for me. At least now we know. Price drop is very welcome - offsets the incredibly expensive (but gorgeous) smartcover that I'll be picking up on the day too.
There's only a JL near my apple store so if i need to go to a pc world etc it'll take a while.
thanks apple. I'll check argos before if they have any to reserve then i'll skip apple altogether.
Just had a punt and rang Brent Cross apple store to see if they would put one aside for me LOL
The assistant said "we dont know a release time yet"
So I directed her to this link - http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/
She was shocked to see it and thanked me because she can now tell all the people who are ringing up lol

Seems a little odd that Apple have quietly released a statement to announce iPad 2 availability, and not actually specified UK-specific pricing (apart from, apparently, through MacWorld), and haven't updated their sites yet. Of told those of us that signed up repeatedly to those 'Notify me' emails.
UK Press Release is up too:

When you say "confirmed" I haven't seen anything from apple?

With the iphone 4 and presumably with this, by the time you've heard anything through the 'notify me' link, it's too late.
