The shipping date for the iPad in the UK has been put back: previously listed for 28 May, the Apple online store now says the tablets will ship from 7 June.
The delayed shipping date will only apply to new orders, however. Those who have already pre-ordered an iPad can expect to see the device arrive on 28 May as planned.
UK shoppers were initially told they would only have to wait until late March for the device but Apple subsequently moved the release date to late April. The release date was then delayed once again, being pushed back to late May.

If this follows US release it just means that they sold out of the first batch. This happened here in the US after a while the ship date of pre-orders slipped by a week. People who were fast got them on the release date.
Just a quick clue to you UK users, you may find that you won't be able to use the coin of the realm to purchase iPads. If Apple Europe follow Apple US's scheme you will only be able to purchase these things with Credit or Debit cards in your name. No cash accepted.
