Phil,

If you are quick, you can get the 32Gb WiFi iPad from http://www.johnlewis.com/231016327/Product.aspx - they only have 1 left though. Else they have 4 of the 32Gb WiFi 3G version http://www.johnlewis.com/231016330/Product.aspx

You don't have to take out a 3G contract at the time of purchase, and with the WiFi only version you can purchase a separate MiFi dongle (http://www.three.co.uk/Mobile_Broadband/MiFi), which will give you 3G when you are out/away from a WiFi hotspot. Using MiFi you pay for the data received over the 3G network and not the £10 per month rental that you would pay with a 3G sim card that goes into the side of the iPad.

I forgot to add that I don't work for John Lewis, and whilst they aren't the cheapest, I like their ethos of sharing their profits with their workers and the company paying tax in the UK. (I'll now get off my soapbox).

HTH

Nick
