iPad Air available on Three tomorrow – All the details

Hey dear reader. It’s cold, it’s Autumn and it’s a minute past midnight. What are you doing up at this time? ;) Well, don’t worry, tomorrow is Friday and it’s November 1st. Pop down to your local Three store and you can buy yourself an iPad Air. There’s a range of plans available and we’ve just got the full details…

Three will be offering the iPad Air with WiFi and GSM. We’ve got the full details on the iPad Air which includes a 9.7? Retina display and a thinner and lighter design. Three will also be selling the iPad mini with the same WiFi and mobile data capabilities later in November. Once Three turn on their 4G data network you’ll also be able to connect to that for no extra cost too.

Three to Offer iPad Air in UK on November 1, 2013

UK, London — October 29, 2013 —Three today announced that it will offer iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular in UK on Friday, November 1, and iPad mini with Retina display with Wi-Fi + Cellular later in November. Three will offer these new iPads with a range of attractive data plans that will allow customers to connect to its fast DC-HSDPA+ 3G network and its 4G network that will be available at no extra cost, in December.

iPad Air features a stunning 9.7-inch Retina display in a new thinner and lighter design. Precision-engineered to weigh just one pound, iPad Air is 20 percent thinner and 28 percent lighter than the fourth generation iPad, and with a narrower bezel, the borders of iPad Air are dramatically thinner—making content even more immersive. iPad mini with Retina display brings all the pixels from the 9.7-inch iPad to its 7.9-inch screen, delivering razor sharp text and detail in the same amazingly thin and light design. The new iPads feature the powerful and power-efficient Apple-designed A7 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, ultrafast wireless with faster built-in Wi-Fi and expanded LTE cellular connectivity, and the newly-designed iOS 7 featuring hundreds of great new features.

Customers can buy iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular at all Three retail shops, online or by calling 0800 358 8460, beginning November, 1. For complete details on pricing and pre-registration, please visit www.three.co.uk.

Donation drive ends tomorrow!

So, thanks to you lovely people we’re pretty much there now. Only £40 stands between us and our spanky new server. We’ll be announcing the winners of our prize collection tomorrow, but I just wanted to say another rather massive thank-you to those who’ve chosen to donate and help us with the rather large up-front cost of buying a fast new server.

We always prefer to buy out-right, because it means that we’re not shelling out for a monthy rental. This, over the several years that we’ve owned our current box, would’ve meant a huge larger total cost.

So, if you’d like to be in with a chance of winning one of the prizes below, hit the donate button and give us whatever you’re comfortable with. If not, don’t worry, we’re already lining up another competition next week that’ll be free to enter.

Update – Now with fixed donate button! Doah!

Prizes

- Skullcandy Navigator headphones

- Acer Liquid E2

- Suite of Armour Galaxy S4 and Goosewhite Qi charging pad

Tomorrow is iPhone Day, but O2 won’t have any 5s handsets in store

So, the waiting is over and, as is usual with a new iPhone, there’ll be pictures of people waiting outside stores to pick one up. Our inbox is already filling up with eager PR companies wanting us to mention their iPhone 5s or 5c-related news. Phones 4u are going to have The Saturdays in their Oxford Street store and there’s plenty of Apple stores erecting barriers tonight

But….

We’re getting some strange vibes. O2 have just announced via this tweet that NONE of their stores will have the iPhone 5s tomorrow. Yes, the 5c will be there for you to look at and buy, but don’t expect to see the 5s.

Update – So far Voda and EE have confirmed to me that they will have handsets in store, with EE telling us that it’ll be available in “major” stores. It’s more than a little strange that O2 won’t have the iPhone 5s in any store, especially as they were the first UK network to ever carry the iPhone.
