Apple Delays UK iPad Launch
Apple has announced a delay to the UK launch of the iPad. The new platform will not see the White Cliffs of Dover until the end of May rather than the April 24th widely understood to have been the launch date.

Apple's official word is:

"Faced with this surprisingly strong US demand, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the international launch of iPad by one month, until the end of May. We will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders on Monday, May 10.

"We know that many international customers waiting to buy an iPad will be disappointed by this news, but we hope they will be pleased to learn the reason – the iPad is a runaway success in the US thus far."

So, the saviour of gaming will have to wait.
