Have we got any updates on if and when o2 will offer the new iPad?

currently waiting to place an order with whichever Carrier offers first.

its normally O2 and to be fair are my preferred option given the coverage in my area.

@Theboynorm

@Chris_K has suggested an announcement very soon

[AJHJ]

Same here, have tabs on networks offering the iPad on refresh. Been waiting for this one for some time (sold my previous iPad pro before the previous event and need it for work)... A bit of an emergency.

@AJHJ: Would you mind telling us how you use it (the iPad Pro) for work? I'm quite curious to see how people do use it.

[AngryWarlock]

Man, If I told my wife I was bringing her a cup of tea "Very Soon" and she was still waiting Id be in all kinds of bother. 

[AJHJ]

@sheepdog It's far superior to anything I've used on Wacom, far better than Cintiq. I have to revert to my graphic tablet and I can't wait to use the new pencil. We also do a lot of our jingles on it using Cubase and other fantastic music apps.

Website now says available to Pre Order on 2nd Nov.
