Tesco begins selling iPad in the UK

Tesco, the massive global grocer and merchandising retailer, has begun selling all six models of the iPad on its Tesco Direct website and in select Tesco stores today. While the iPad has been available in the UK since May, the addition of Tesco as an iPad reseller is significant, because it is the largest retailer in the United Kingdom and provides yet another locale for UK customers, specifically those not close to an Apple Store, to buy an iPad.

Though typically known for its cutthroat prices, all six models of the iPad retail for the same price as they do on the Apple UK Store. Tesco is the second-largest retailer in the world with stores in over 14 countries, but it is unknown at this time if the iPad will be available in any of those stores located outside the United Kingdom.

Would much rather get mine from John Lewis, way better service than you will ever get at Tesco. Probably better than Apple's brick and mortar stores.

Not sure what sort of service John Lewis can give you on an IPad.

They swipe your card a bit quicker?

@ redcard
John Lewis generally give a 2 year warranty for mac computers compared with Apples illegal 1 year one -- I have not checked for iPads.

It's just a shame that the Tesco website is well known for crashing Safari on a Mac!!!

No, what we really need is for the Apple shop to accept Clubcard Deals!
