Apple hardware near unavailable in the UK

If you’re a UK customer looking to get your mitts on an iPod, iBook, iMac G5 or Power Mac G5, you may be bloody well out of luck, mate. Macworld UK has reported readers have been told to expect a two-month ship delay on their orders of 2.5Ghz Power Mac G5s. One retailer described the unit as ‘unobtainable.’
