While consumers in the U.S. are scrambling to find iPads, Apple has opened up pre-orders for the device in the U.K. Prices for the device will start at 429 British pounds and networks like O2, Orange and Vodafone have released their pricing plans for the 3G version, varying from 2 British pounds per day to 25 British pounds per month for plans ranging from 200MB of data use per day to 5GB of data use per month.

“Initial customer feedback suggests the iPad is going to be just as big a hit in the U.K. as it has been in the U.S. since it was launched,” said Ernest Doku, an analyst at mobile phone comparison site Omio.com. “Expect to see queues around the block on launch day, with Apple aficionados clamoring to get their hands on the first iPads to go on sale.”
