Ipad from Hong Kong?

A twist. If you happen to use an iPhone, don't bother about the 3G version of the iPad. Just upgrade the iPhone's firmware with iTunes and you can turn on a wifi 'hotspot' using its own 3G data connection. Then your iPad will operate using your iPhone's data package. So you only need a wifi version of the iPad, which (a) saves you the extra dosh for the 3G version and (b) liberates you to buy it in any country.

unless you want GPS which is not on the WiFi only version

I was pleasantly surprised to discover GPS on the Samsung Tablet ( Froyo ) I picked up a year ago, using Tesco Clubcard Vouchers on a X4 promo.

P'rhaps I'm the 'cheapest skate' around....
